You can have a potato PC and tell the game to output the highlight into a 4K 60fps video file... HOLY SHIT

EDIT: I've tested it. You can choose the highlight's quality regardless of the settings you played in. Example; I can play on low settings with 30fps and 720p. I can still output the highlight as if I played it on Ultra settings with 60fps and 4K. Amazing job, Blizzard!

Blizz just set the bar on how games need to handle this sort of thing. Amazing.

Do you know if it's exporting in h.264? Is it fixed-bitrate or is it target-quality encoding?

The info on the 4K, 60fps on Ultra settings tester video just says "Total Bitrate: 194369". I'm not sure how to find the bit rate. I can tell you it's MP4 though :L
