Help with High Quality recording

Im having a lot of trouble getting my obs to record gaming footage at a quality I like. I used the lossless preset for a while and it is the look im going for, but i had too many issues with the recording being much shorter than i thought i was cutting it. I've attempted tweaking with advanced settings but I really have no clue what i'm doing. Whatever I try, the middle of the screen with action in it always looks poor and pixelated. I dont need to edit the videos at all, just turn on recording and turn off. File size is of no importance.

My question with that said: What recording format, video encoder, Rate control, and other things should I be using to find the quality I'm looking for?

Specs: AMD 9800 x3d, NVidia 4090, 64 gb of ram, 2 Tb ssd for only recordings, MSI PRO X870-P WIFI
