Describe the Bug

When I connect to the desktop every text is blurred, shimmery I have a screenshot of it in my Reddit post Sunshine on AMD 7900 cards In game I have not noticed it as much but any overlay has the issue as well Moonlight client doesn't seem to matter, TV and Windows has the same issue. VNC connection is clear and crisp

Just chiming in to say that the same happens to me (RX 6600). It seems to be a problem with the colour conversion and/or scaling done via shaders. It's probably beyond my capabilities to fix.

It is possible to workaround the issue by starting the encoder in a software context so it does the same colour conversion as libx264, but it results in higher CPU usage, capture FPS drops at times, and probably a latency increase due to the need for each frame to be transferred from GPU to system memory.

This issue has been fixed and will be available in the next release.

I have the same issue where the text is fuzzy.

AMD 7800X3D w/ integrated GPU Win11 w/ Sunshine and Moonlight client.

Tried various bitrate settings which all work fine, but text is not crisp and clear. Even tried lowlatency setting, but makes no difference.

UPDATE: Moonlight client was set to 720p 60 FPS, going to 1080p 30/60 FPS cleared up the text.
