Your friend is getting a high-resolution stream but seeing blurry video, possibly due to insufficient bit rate. The suggested 6000 kbps should work for 1080p, but actual performance depends on both download and upload speeds. Streaming typically uses download speed for encoding, while upload handles interaction. To match gameplay quality, aim for a bitrate that balances clarity and smoothness based on your connection. Consider checking download speeds as a minimum and uploading speeds to ensure stable communication.
Quality depends on more than just the bitrate. Factors include whether your friend uses GPU encoding, the type of software involved, the specific GPU being used, the encoding parameters, and other details. Bitrate isn't the sole consideration. When watching a stream, it's the download speed that matters, whereas uploading is crucial for services like Twitch. A lossless visual image would need around 50Mbps or higher with proper settings.
You're curious about the pricing and details. It's common for partnered streamers to have better rates, but the exact cost depends on various factors. Let me help clarify!
It appears there are no fixed guidelines for bitrates among partners; they’re determined through negotiation. I noticed a suggestion that Twitch unofficially backs 7800 Kbit video and 160Kbit audio. You might also consider matching a similar bitrate at 1080p 30 instead of 60 for optimal quality.
