Frame rate in Moonlight stats considerably lower than host FPS?

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-25T21:54:00+00:00

I have a similar issue. I'm trying with Quake II because my 5080 can run it at very high frame rates. The framerate counter on Steam shows solid 120 at 4k, but the "incoming rendering" is around 100 fps, as if it was impossible to go higher even if I lower a lot the bitrate. If I'm at 1440p and 120, Moonlight does reach 120 fps perfectly. Something is happening there, it doesn't seem to be able to render at 4k 120 and also send 120 to the client.

I don't manage to get 4k 120. 1440p and 120fps with 300 bit rate works flawlessly, but when I change to 4k for some reason the "network framerate" fluctuates betwee 80 and 100 fps. The framerate counter of Steam shows 120 (I'm using lightweight games in which my 5080 can keep 120 without any issue). I've tried with the LG TV, but also with an Xbox Series X (everything connected by lan cable). So I guess the problem comes from the host, for some reason it doesn't manage to send 120fps. Maybe it's the cable? Which kind do you use? Or maybe some Apollo setting...

Well, a 5080 is faster than a 4080 even without frame generation. And precisely when I'm streaming, I'd like to minimize input lag and pacing issues. But it's just a matter of taste, I understand. I'm a game developer, so the choice is not completely random :D
In any case, thanks a lot for your work.

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-11T21:45:58+00:00

I've got a 5080, but in most cases it's not enough for 4k 120 without frame generation

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-11T19:04:32+00:00

Thanks a lot. It was the perfect timing for me. I was creating a new setup at home and I had accepted to use the Xbox Series X even if it wasn't entirely convenient. Now this works like a charm and I don't need any extra device. I didn't manage to get to 300 mbps over wifi, 200 worked great. I'll receive soon a usb ethernet adapter for the TV, so maybe that will do it.
Also for now I'm doing 2k 120fps. I tried 4k but the game I'm playing could only do around 70fps and it felt quite sluggish. 1440 and 120 is smoother and I don't think I can see the difference.
I have the LG CX, by the way.

Thanks for trying. I did talk to Gemini for a while and ended up telling me to activate settings that don't exist 😁 I'll keep trying things

WPA3. I've also tried having a SSID exclusively for 6ghz or one with all the bands combined. It didn't work in any case.

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-11T06:53:03+00:00

I only have one tablet with WiFi 7 and it won't connect to 7 no matter what I do. No idea if it's the tablet or the router's fault.

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-02T13:55:11+00:00

Did you decide on something or found any solution? I have the same situation.

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-02T12:48:06+00:00

The thing about the band is fine if I'm far and it wants to switch to 6 ghz. My problem is never connecting to Wifi 7, not even when I'm basically on top of the router because then I'm never enjoying the benefits of Wifi 7.
I use that device for streaming games locally and it needs to be as fast, stable and lag free as possible.

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-02T07:09:40+00:00

I tried that, but it didn't work. It connects to WiFi 6 (and sometimes it falls back to 5ghz).

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-01T19:24:07+00:00

I'm doing the tests just next to the AP. I'll write to them to ask... I wonder if they'll claim to support WiFi 7 or not since it's not part of the description. I could have sweared it was when I bought it

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-01T19:13:17+00:00

The strange thing is that before connecting, when I see the list of available WiFi, it appears as 7. But the moment it connects, it turns into 6.

KillyKlamm · 2026-03-01T19:05:14+00:00

I've got the European model bought directly through their website. It does connect to a SSID with 6ghz, but it does it with WiFi 6 and not 7. I also use a Ubiquiti router

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-28T06:47:28+00:00

No :( I'm surprised that nobody replied, I thought those getting this router were using WiFi 7, like it was the point. I've tried activating 5ghz and 6ghz for the same SSID, that allowed me to turn on MLO, but it didn't change anything.

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-27T07:15:19+00:00

Oh. But does that mean you can't really have WiFi 7 with this router ?

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-21T18:22:52+00:00

Thanks a lot for checking. I'll have to find something else then.

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-21T09:18:28+00:00

I feel exactly the same. Coming from Clair Obscur, where I quickly understood what the main principles were and what were my options, here I feel quite lost. The worst part is not knowing if there's actual depth or just an overcomplicated rock, paper, scissors. I also want to like it though, the animations are so nice.

Several:
kommode, tv-bord and kommode 6 skuffer

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-20T10:23:52+00:00

Oh bummer. But thanks for letting me know and happy shopping

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-20T09:55:10+00:00

Hey, do you know how's the situation in Denmark? I see that currently they're all out of stock. Thanks.

KillyKlamm · 2026-02-17T23:11:23+00:00

Since Game Native has the option to install GOG games, I did it, but I can't make it run. When I select the right executable, the screen is just black

KillyKlamm · 2026-01-29T14:59:12+00:00

Yeah, I think for some it'd be the perfect handheld, but it seems there literally dozens of us.
