16K LIVE Stream from an OBS Linux/Ubuntu Computer as at 4 Sep 2022 using a i9-12900KF (15360x8640)!!

Attempt 2 after yesterday below! This time the GPU is working so should actually work. It did work yesterday, on DLive and Twitter is was going at 16K, and YT received some signal but it isn't playable back. Today should be fine for 16K with the 3080 Graphics card. Yay! A lot of problems to solve when using Linux but a good challenge, I'm getting there! :)
Sorry for same thumbnail as yesterday, I'm not on my main computer or new linux computer when typing this.

Sorry I haven't streamed for a month! Next two streams will be Clash Quest and Everdale.

There will be no audio in this stream, just a short showcase, I don't think the graphics card (3080 Gigabyte) is connected/working yet (as it's only showing me x264 option on OBS). Also I have not got an SSD yet, so it's on HDD, a 10TB WD Purple HDD, which makes very loud sounds and I'm concerned it may be broken, other videos on YT say it does make loud sounds, but my one is real loud.

I just set up the new computer with Linux today (2 Sep 2022, and now it's 3 Sep 2022).
I did a stream like this over two year ago, a 16K stream which "worked" at like 1-2FPS, but I could see that it was transmitting at 16K. Will be cool to try again.

This computer is i5-8400 with a 1060-3GB Graphics card which immense struggled with a 16K stream. I wonder how an i9-12900KF without a graphics card will work compared to this current set up. I'm writing this out on the i5-8400 normal computer. When I get the 3080 graphics card going, then hopefully it can stream 16K much better.

I'll attempt it at 10FPS.

As of last time I looked online a few months ago, there is an 8K monitor that you are able to get. So it is an upcoming possibility. 90%+ of viewers in most streams will only watch in 1080p or lower, with very few watching in 4K, let alone 8K or 16K. But there are some that can at least watch in 8K if they have the right monitor, even if it's only 1% of your audience. But overall it's pretty ineffiecnt to stream at 8 or 16K considering very few people can watch it like that, and it's far more recourse intensive to do. I think 4K streams in 2022 are justified as 4K monitors and TVs are definitely a thing. Will see by 2023, 2024, 2025 and beyond how widespread 8K pics up. As of 2022 you can by a few cameras that can record in 8K. So even 8K there could be neiche reasons to stream it in, for 8K photos for people with the 8K monitor. But 16K is very unsupported, althoguh there is a wikipedia page of it, and a german guy made a video about it in 2017. Pushing things to the max has long intrigued me, how good can we make things go, so I like the challenge of making 16K work, even though most of that is just getting the good enough computer parts! Even then many streaming services wouldn't accept 16K. Although at least YT and DLive do accept it in 16K (in 2020 when I attempted it), although it's not officially supported. It's hard to record in 16K as none of the support formats that OBS offers are 16K capable. Daniel2 apparently supports 16K, but I can't manage to download it. Hence if you stream it and it's accept by streaming services and encoded in VP9 or something, you sidestep needing OBS to support a format that supports 16K recording. If you stream in 16K, then it will look better in some cases as there is more data, but overall the extra data is not very useful even in 10 years time to look back. Unless perhaps the screen capture is based on arch mathematics. Apparently most top fortnight streamers play in 1080, not even 4K. I did a wikipedia page for 32K, but it didn't get approved. As far as I'm aware webcams only go up to 4K. OBS is capped at 16K, just above, I think. I think that if this stream is successful then I'll consider myself done with 16K and make streaming in 32K my next goal. But getting everything supported in 16K will take a long time, 16K monitors, 16K webcams, 16K formats, etc, all takes ages to come about. 8K is certainly being hit, but 8K is so the past, 16K, 32K, 64K, 128K, 256K, 512K, 1M, 2M, 4M, 8M, 16M, that's the future!

Thanks.
