YT bitrates?

WereCat · August 23, 2017

Hi, I was wondering whether it is worth it to record with NVENC at 1440p 60FPS 24Mbps instead of 1080p 60FPS 12Mbps for YT?

In theory the 1440p is 77% more than 1080p but it allows for twice the bitrate so it should provide better quality?

I was playing in OBS and recording Arma 3 on Tanoa map with a lot of foliage which has big impact on the pixelation but I couldn't really tell much of a difference.

I know that x264 is better in quality on the same bitrates but I don't have a CPU to handle that.

You could always record in 1080P but export the video in 1440P for youtube. I'm guessing you've already seen it but TB has a good video on this.

I don't think that I have seen it. I will check it out, thanks.
