Hi all!
Thank you in advance for reading this and providing any help in order for me to understanding this concept. I'll try to keep the queries concise. I did ask this in the Discord, but the questions were rolling pretty fast so I didn't quite understand the full answer/reason behind the answer.
I have a 4k monitor and a 1080p Elgato capture card (60 S) for when I play PS4. I also use StreamElements for my notifications etc. on Twitch. My base canvas is presently 1080p and I output at 720p when streaming.
I understand my base canvas should be the same as my primary resolution (usually 4k), but due to the capture card and existing StreamElements setup, it would be a heckofalot more convenient to keep my base at 1080p!
Am I okay to leave my base at 1080p or am I likely introducing artifacts and other garbage due to how my setup is? If it is causing issues, why? It's hard for me to tell because I am streaming at a generally low bandwidth so I can grow my audience--also I'm a bit of a perfectionist I suppose; I want the best setup possible.
Should I just make different profiles for 1080p and 4k depending on if I play PC games or PS4 games?
Appreciate it if you've read this far! :)
