Taiwan never had them from the start, and putting data caps would, in theory, spell death to landline nets, because the unlimited data plans on mobiles are actually within a hair's breath of landlines. Ireland in theory had them, but never enforced it, and IIRC they removed them entirely. On the flip side, internet in Ireland or Taiwan (given small countries) don't have data caps on landline internet. Combined with our recent transcode updates, it’s never been easier to stream higher quality video to more people.Ĭlick to expand.I think it's more to do with the size of the country, both Canada and US are big countries and both seem to have data caps, and the communication infrastructure is laid down by the ISPs themselves, out of their own pockets, I think (correct me if I am wrong).
#6000 bitrate 1080p or 720p nvenc 480p#
Viewers now have more choices, and you won’t have to worry about them dropping to 480p when “source quality” is unavailable. We’re also rolling out a new set of numbered quality options (transcodes, if you’re fancy), starting today.
#6000 bitrate 1080p or 720p nvenc 1080p#
We officially recommend 3–6 megabits for most streams, skewing toward the higher end for 1080p broadcasts or faster, more demanding games.
Your Twitch streams will soon look finer than ever thanks to our new 1080p/60fps video support.įor starters, we’re no longer limiting our ingest bitrate to 3.5 megabits. Awesome time for a new hardware build with more cores! The slow setting should really tax the encoding capabilities of your hardware and I'm wary that a quad core will suffice if gaming on the system at the same time. This is the perfect time for a new Intel X99 or AMD Ryzen build as they recommend a "slow" CPU preset. There are several guides on this Twitch support page to ease the transition to higher quality video. If so then you're ready to test the higher bitrates and increased quality streams. To test and see if your channel supports the new higher bitrate formats, visit Twitch Inspector and see if your channel supports "Transcode V2". Those channels will have lower bitrate options also! It is coming to all of Twitch in the coming weeks, but for now they are rolling it out slowly to a few channels.
This will allow for much more fluid video playback on channels where it has been enabled. has added 1080p/60fps streaming capabilities to their service by increasing the allowed ingest bitrate to 6000 kbps.
