Keep in mind the impact of OBS recording (~20% max load). Ambient is 24-25C.
TL;DW: For heavy games nowadays, the best bang-for-buck settings is to:
- turn on DLSS at Quality,
- keep everything at Medium while streaming or recording,
- or else keep everything at High,
- while Texture Quality at Very High,
- turn off Ray Tracing, Anti Aliasing, and Motion Blur,
- and turn on VSYNC to eliminate tearing and enjoy GSYNC or FreeSync.
