Twitch 1440p Enhanced Broadcast Only Using 9K Bitrate Instead of 20K – Is This Normal?

[kephrentv]

Hi, I’d like to understand something. I was accepted into Twitch’s 1440p streaming program and I’m allowed to stream at 20,000 kbps bitrate. When I follow the recommended settings and use Enhanced Broadcast, OBS shows that it’s sending 20K bitrate.
However, when I watch my stream and check the video stats, it never goes above 9K bitrate.
Is this normal behavior with Enhanced Broadcast? Should I disable Enhanced Broadcast and force the full 20K bitrate manually?

You should contact Twitch support as the configurations for the encoders are set by them.

yes it is normal, it is 20K between the various different resolutions you are sending. no, sending 20K to one stream manually is not an option.

2560x1440 = 9000 kbsp
1920x1080 = 7500 kbsp
1280x720 = 3500 kbsp
852x480 = 1000 kbsp
640x360 = 500 kbsp
+ audio bitrate
