Video Streaming Question

[Maeka]

Odd, I was doing 5-6Mbit and Twitch didn't appear to drop any frames in that last video I did. Is twitch measuring 3.5Mbit or 3.5Mbyte? That, or maybe OBS knows that and knows not to go over 3.5 despite what it's claiming in its UI?

But yeah, I checked OBS it's already set to NVENC and I had a feeling that downscaling/upscaling did in fact cost more resources to have to process that stuff.

EDIT: Checked their Inspector tool and it said "Excellent" streaming quality and it said that my last stream was between 4,500 and 5,900 kbps. Willing to guess that the 3.5Mbit thing is outdated info. But thanks for confirming that up/downscaling does indeed require more work than just doing native resolution.
