Question / Help Stream @720p60fps and Record 1080p60fps

Hey guys.

Really quick question.

To stream at 720p and record at 1080p, is this the "optimal" setting?

Video Options -> Base and Output: 1080p
Output Options -> Streaming -> Scale to 720p
Output Options -> Recording -> No scale


Thanks

You can do that, though just know that you'll have to spawn two separate encoders, and for the stream encoder it'll have to resize the output image on the CPU to 720p, which requires a little bit of extra CPU usage.

Of course if you're using NVENC or QSV for either the stream or recording then your performance won't really be hit at all.

Thanks for the reply Jim.

Is there any other approach to this?

Video Options -> Base 1080p and Output 720p
Output Options -> Streaming -> No scale
Output Options -> Recording -> Scale to 1080p

In the case above the encoder for recording would receive a 720p image and then try to upscale it, is this correct?

Just wondering how to have the least impact. The recording will be done with NVENC, stream with x264.

No, don't scale up like that with the recording encoder. The "output resolution" determines the final output resolution. The rescale options in the advanced output settings determines -additional- scaling after that.

So use this:

Video Options -> Base 1080, output 1080
Output Options -> Streaming -> Scale to 720p, x264
Output Options -> Recording -> No scale, NVENC
