Question / Help Streaming at 60fps, 720p or 1080p

[Elrinth]

Is there any services today which support 60fps streaming?
I know twitch supports it, but if you're not a partner of twitch it's going to buffer every now and then for your viewers.

Older video game systems had sprite on/off in order to simulate semi transparency. Such as you take a hit in a game, then you're hero starts flickering a short while. OR when there is too many sprites in horizontal line, half the sprites would be drawn on even frames, and second half of sprites would be drawn on odd frames.
running 30 fps video can make some sprites go totally invisible to the viewer and this kinda sucks.

So I'm wondering if there is any service out there which supports 60fps streaming?!

I have 100mbit up / down. Services confirm it's like ~92mbit down / ~80mbit up. I have 4770K processor and a GTX670.
I run games thru the AverMedia ExtremeCap U3 to open broadcaster streamer. Recording videos at 60fps work great. Very hi fidelity! :) Currently I record 720p as that's worked best for my viewers on twitch, I've been using 3000kbps. But according to people 2000kbps is recommended so viewers don't get bashed by buffering. Sadly 2000 kbps is not enough for 60fps streaming.

720p60 Streaming on twitch is perfectly fine if they are using a recent enough version of flash. It's a limitation created by Flash, not twitch. So every streaming server which uses flash, which should be every single one currently in existence, will be affected.
For 1080p60 3.5Mbps is not enough, but higher isn't a good idea anyway since it will cause massive buffering for viewers on slower connections.

Hitbox can't magicaly fix flash.

I think BtbN meant Streaming Services that use the flash player on their website. There are a lot of those.
Apart of that, I can only repeat, 720p 60fps is doable at reasonable bitrates and works mostly fine. But 1080p, especially at 60 fps needs a whole lot more bitrate to look good and will get your viewers to a buffering state if you choose to increase it.

For a game that looks a lot better in 1080p than 720p, keep it to 30 fps and your viewers will be happy :)
