but if we scale from 1440p to 720p, that is 1/2 resolution, and the quality loss from that downscale is very bad so now we have a new problem.

If we downscale from 1080p to 720p there is also some quality loss, but the compression required to fit in 6000kbps at 720p is not so high, so the overall result is betterīut 720p is 3/4 of 1080p and if we use this same scaling for 1440p, we would have a 1080p stream and we have the same problem as before. Because for 1080p to fit in 6000kbps, there is a lot of compression, and the compression makes the picture look bad especially for lots of movement (such as in FPS games where we are very 'twitchy' in our movement and aim) This is why it is generally recommended that if you play in 1080p it is best to stream at 720p. So the stream will have to either be high bit rate for high resolution, or we must compress it moreĪnd the more we compress, the worse the quality of the pictureīut if we reduce the resolution, then we also lose quality then twitch servers transcode that into different resolutions and rates for the viewers, but for the rest of us, we have to stream at around 6000kbps maximum, because twitch will not transcode, so the viewers have to be able to download >6Mbps to watch that.īut high resolution = more pixels = more bits of data Yeh if you are partnered, it is easy, you just stream at your native resolution and a super high bitrate as high as your upload can handle it. I'm just explaining some stuff because it's not really well documented online, since most people historically play at 1080p or less. Perhaps you'd prefer a different scale or a higher bitrate or whatever, I'm not the boss of you. This just explains the reasoning and method behind the choice of 864p downscaled streams from 1440p games. As always, YMMV, do what you want, do what works for you.

I just wanted to archive this info somewhere, so that others don't have to guess or work it out the hard way. If more details or corrections are needed I will reply or edit it as needed. This is basically a copypaste from a chat room so I tried to keep it brief and simple and avoid jargon. This forum seems as good a place as any I could think of, but perhaps I should make a resource/guide, as this is not applicable to windows only. I've typed this up for a few friends lately and as 1440p gaming becomes more popular with time I thought it might make sense to put it somewhere public.
