Question / Help Which would produce higher video quality?

2000 @ 30 FPS would obviously end up with better looking individual frames. As you would have to smear out that 2000 Kbps across double the frame count at 60 FPS. However, it does kind of depend on the game in question. Some games really look awful when captured at 30 FPS, they really need that 60 FPS. And some games... look amazing even at 30 FPS.
So, which game are we talking about?

Just a note, even MarioKart may still look acceptable at 30fps; in fact I'd recommend that, as racing games are very high-motion.
I was streaming Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed at 60fps and was getting a TON of blocking. I dropped it to 30fps, boom. Blocking fixed, and there were no real smoothness issues.
I'd say that for stuff like Super Meat Boy, and maybe Smash Bros; 60fps could improve the look of the stream. But anything with LOTS of full onscreen movement (not just sliding the playfield one way or another in the same perspective, like platformers tend to) is almost definitely going to look better at 30fps at the same framerate; giving that image fidelity bump as opposed to a smoother-moving, but potentially far blockier/lower-quality image.
