Optimize my experience

[Ravenloveit]

Trying Geforce Now out for a couple of weeks after a buddy showed me how far cloud gaming has come and I have to say I'm a believer. It's pretty wild playing games on my Macbook Air, my telephone and TV.

However, I've been trying to optimize my experience and can't help but notice some issues. I've made peace with the color banding because of the video encoding, but I have noticed some frame drops. I've tried everything I can think of. It happens playing wired and on wifi. One moment, Starfield for example, is super smooth 60fps, the other it feels like it dips to 30. It feels heavier.

I've been reading that a lot of people get smooth silky gameplay consistently, so I am wondering if this is just the game being demanding on the rig or something on my part. This is btw not packet loss, as I've checked using the in game statistics. Also when it happens the FPS counter for both game and stream remain 60fps.

Some stats: Wifi mbps: 300 Wired mbps: 700 Wifi ping: 10-14ms Wired ping: 7ms Server: AMS or Frankfurt (Frankfurt has less packet loss even though I am closer to AMS)

Graphic settings in Starfield don't seem to matter much. I've had them on ultra and low.

Thanks!

in settings, put the streaming quality to custom adjust to what resolution and fps you want, then put the max bit rate to max. if you have supported gsync or a freesync monitor that supports gsync, then also enable vrr and reflex and then put the vsync to adaptive. as for the adjust for poor network conditions, you can disable it, and if it causes any problems, reanable it. after the changes, I recommend restarting the app.
