I’m checking your connection details to see if it can handle high-quality streaming. You mentioned wanting 1080p at 60 fps with a 6000 bitrate in OBS, using either Nvideo or standard encoding. Your goal is to keep the bitrate under 75% of your upload speed, which would cap you around 15 kbps. That means your internet needs to be strong enough to deliver that bitrate smoothly. A good test result will show if your speed meets those requirements. Let me know what your actual numbers are from the speedtest, and I can give a clearer idea.
You can stream smoothly at 1080p with 60fps using a 15k bitrate, or go up to 4k at 30fps by lowering the bitrate to 8k. I prefer nvenc for encoding because it utilizes the GPU instead of the CPU. If you're streaming a very demanding game and have a strong CPU, cpu encoding is a good choice.
