There are a few reasons why the Game Bar might produce higher quality recordings compared to OBS Studio on your Windows computer:

1. Default Settings: The Game Bar is designed to be user-friendly with optimized default settings for recording gameplay. OBS Studio, on the other hand, offers a lot of customization, which can be overwhelming and might require fine-tuning to achieve optimal quality.

2. Hardware Acceleration: The Game Bar utilizes hardware acceleration more efficiently, which can result in smoother recordings with less impact on system performance.

3. Configuration: OBS Studio requires manual configuration to match the quality of the Game Bar. This includes setting the correct bitrate, resolution, and encoder settings. If these settings are not optimized, the recording quality may suffer.

4. System Resources: The Game Bar is integrated into Windows and is optimized to use system resources efficiently. OBS Studio, being a third-party application, might not be as tightly integrated and could use more resources, affecting recording quality.

If you want to improve the quality of your OBS Studio recordings, you might want to look into adjusting the settings, such as increasing the bitrate, using a different encoder, or optimizing the resolution.
