A rate of 6,000 isn’t too high as long as your hardware and the server you are streaming to supports it. It is actually our recommended bitrate for streaming at 1080p (Full HD) if your setup is suitable. Make sure your upload speed is sufficient before increasing your bitrate to reduce the chance of lagging and dropped frames. Your upload speed should be at least 6 Mbps to broadcast with a 6,000 bitrate at 1080p, 60 FPS. As noted in the above table, if your upload speed is slightly lower than 6Mbps, you can still manage 1080p at 60 FPS with a 4,000 bitrate. This is still a good bitrate for streaming.
