Not sure where else to put this on forums, BUT...

I run the game at 1920x1080 now that I have a display capable of doing that. I have a Ryzen5 1500X, 16GB 2400, and a GTX 1050Ti.

I was streaming with OBS (64-bit) back when I had to run 1360x768 on my previous display, and I wanted to stream for a friend, but I was telling him "eh, I dunno if that will work now that I run higher resolution now".

Well, I changed OBS to tell it to downscale (Bicubic, 16 samples) to 1440x810 and it was OK. Video wasn't skipping, though I was getting minor framerate loss (50-55 FPS). My upload speed is not a factor; I have 10Mbit and OBS was only using 4-6Mbit.

So my question is....

Does the computer have to do extra work to downscale? Would it use less CPU resources to simply stream native resolution at 1920x1080 so that it doesn't have to modify the video output?
