What Bitrate Should I Use For Streaming?

The easiest way to understand bitrate is by calling what it actually is, your upload speed to the Twitch servers.

Now you’ll need a higher bitrate depending on how high quality you want your stream to be, this means 1080p 60 frames per second will need a bitrate of 6000, which roughly equals 6megabits upload speed on your end being taken up

By lowering your resolution and framerate, you can make it a lot easier to stream, for example, if you set your base canvas size to 1920x1080, but change your output to 1280x720 otherwise known as 720p you drop down to only needing a bitrate of 4500 or 4.5megabits.

If you still want 1080, you can even just lower your framerate from 60fps to 30fps and then adjust to 4500bitrate.

What Is The BEST Encoder For Streamer?

The best encoder for streaming depends heavily on your computer's hardware, the two main options are x264 and Nvidia NVENC.

The major difference here is x264 uses your CPU and it can be very taxing, but Nvidia NVENC uses a special chip on your Graphics card, it is a different part of your graphics card and has nothing to do with your game performance so it won’t hurt your gameplay and vice versa, but not every graphics card is NVENC capable. Elgato has a great list and tool to help find if yours is capable
