First off this is not about if this is possible and the issues surrounding partnered channels and viewers ability to watch etc. This is purely an opportunity for folks to actually lend some real world experience of the current hardware shift we've recently seen and what CAN be achieved on Twitch with a 6000kbps bitrate.
We've all seen the bigger streamers using a variety of hardware over the years trying to achieve the 1080p/60fps stream goal. Some are getting there and some are using a few tricks to make sure their bit-rate is a tad higher than officially supported.
So that brings us to the real question:
For a DEDICATED streaming rig with a capture card utilising x264 CPU coding, WHAT hardware would offer the best quality at a single price point?
Let's start with the AMD/Intel options we have at the mid-tier. We'd be looking at the:
1) i97900x/i97920x chips from Intel which run around £820-900
2) Ryzen 2950x chips from AMD which run around £850
So does anyone here have either set-up and can do the following:
1) explain what presets they are using to obtain their 1080p/60fps streams
2) provide a link of an archived VOD to showcase the quality
