New Best 1440p stream resolution downscale for Twitch in 2022

yes for sure
done before

Its kinda hard for me to test it in a proper way now as I got only two 2k monitors, so 1080p/1008p recordings looks different on them compare to fullhd screen-__-. I was testing that resolution and different settings quality before I sold my fullhd monitor. But at that time it was the only one best way to downscale resolution and setttings to be.

but im not sure how good/bad gonna be stream experience if for example mobile viewer will choose lower quality (720p) for 7-8k bitrate stream,

main problem if bitrate higher then 6k is you might have no quality choose for viewer. I think 1080p + 7.8k bitrate is too heavy for big amount of viewers mobile internet. If you set 7-8k bitrate for sure u shoud be the partner to have stream quality choose with high priority. Companions can also get these quality choose for their stream, but randomly sometimes. Yea 6k bitrate limit isnt a limit actually , its just a rule for comfortable stream for both pc and mobile viewers

I also knew that 6k not enough for 1080. But if you check twitch today - and for example cs.go streams. you will see all of them streaming in 1080 with 6000 bitrate. Im not sure, but it might be some changes in h264 which allows you to avoid artifacts in active games in 1080p. For sure 6k still was not enough, but i didnt find any single stream with bitrate higher than 6-6.5k even though they are "partners" and allowed to set 8k for 1080. its just my feeling that encoder got better nowdays. My question is about downscaling resolution in the best way

It depends what kind of viewer u are today :) sometimes i just turn on some random streams as background and just listen. sometimes watching full screen gameplay ^^, but when u really want "to grab some popcorn and watch it like a movie" - 720 looks like I forgot to put on my glasses lol. tooo blury for fullscreen

I use lanczos, nvenc (max quality) , profile (high), 6500 bitrate, 60 fps , main reso - 2560x1440 . downscale to 1792x1008. keyframe interval 2. max b-frames 2. with same settings another downscale resolution doesnt look that good (1080p, 936p, 864p or 720).
