720p 60 fps vs 1080p 30 fps for YouTube?

[ImRyan]

so I have Avermedia live gamer HD lite capture card which I use to record Xbox one gameplay which does 720p 60 fps or 1080p 30 fps which one should I record at. I mostly play batman arkham knight and halo MCC and halo 5 when it comes out.

 

i plan on buying Elgato HD60 PRO soon.

 

thanks for your help

720p60 ez

well, Arkham knight has a 30 fps cap...

1080p30 - 60 feels crappy when watching a video

[Keco185]

I see the difference from 60fps more than 1080p

This.

Text looks a bit clearer at 1080p on a 1366x768 display but I notice the framerate a lot more than the resolution

All you have to do is edit the config file to fix that apparently.

720p60 easy

I prefer watching 1080p 30fps. I'd rather WATCH a clearer video quality that runs at "cinematic" frame rates. Although PLAYING the game myself, I'd choose 60fps every time

I would go 720p 60fps. The difference between 720p and 1080p is not that noticeable on youtube IMO, but 60fps compared to 30fps is very noticable on YouTube. I recently picked up an Elgato HD 60 Pro and don't regret it. So it's good that you are picking up one soon. I've owned almost 10 capture cards over the past half a decade or so, & this is my first 1080p 60fps card. It's honestly impressive how great and smooth it looks. To answer your question again though I would go 720p60fps.

1080p 30fps for sure. much better quality. And if people want 60fps they can just use SVP and it's almost as good.

60fps is better for editing tho. You can do slo mo effects and stuff. It's really your choice, if you are only doing basic editing I would recommend 1080p 30fps

720p 60FPS.

You can't say no to the smooth 60FPS.

[SkilledRebuilds]

60 all the way.

Capturing 60 is also easier to do slowdowns and half speeds without inducing stutter.

Upscale 720p 60 to 1080p 60.

Done.

Text still readible and even 1080p on youtube isnt much better due to youtubes own bitrate limits and compression.

Do a test. Upload 1080p30 and upscale 720p60 and upload 1080p 60. And compare.

I'd prefer the 1080p30fps for I have a 1080p panel myself, but not everyone has a 1080p monitor, yet most people have a monitor that goes 60Hz or above.
