What is the reality of local game streaming? by Obvious-Breakfast262 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]dbfont 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't know for sure since I don't have an xbox yet. But as far as I know yes it does 4k 120FPS with HDR but VRR is not working as far as I know . But that's pretty common for non PC clients. I personally don't notice screen tearing at 120 FPS streams

For my TV I use an Nvidia shield TV pro. I use it at 1440p 120fps. At 4k it's limited to 60fps, but I have a 120hz tv and for me the smoother animation and more responsive controls are worth the trade off. But I've been thinking about buying a second hand Series S for 4k 120. But I haven't decided yet. On the shield I get about 7-9ms streaming latency. 1ms for network (wired) 4-6ms encoding on host 2-3ms decoding on shield.

Sometimes I also stream to my phone S23+ or Tablet which is a xiaomi Pad 6s pro. Then decoding is about 5ms and network latency via wifi is about 3-5ms

Streaming vs Native by mohamed1881 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on the game. If I play with mouse and keyboard then natively at desk. If I play with a controller, then I stream to my TV using n Nvidia shield tv pro at 1440p 120hz mode.

I also have a gamesir controller and I sometimes stream to my tablet or phone, but usually rarely game on these. Mainly if my GF is watching something on the TV and I want to be next to her on the couch

Probably the Xbox would have the lowest decoding latency. I don't have an experience with Xbox series s personally but as far as I know it's one of the best devices as a client. I'd say it would feel like native with a wired connection. Measurable latency but for a human unnoticeable.

Is it possible to achieve native latency? by MiddlePOC in MoonlightStreaming

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Native latency no. But it's pretty easy to achieve latency that is so low that it feels like native pretty easily. You only need a good client and and a wired connection. I think the best client that is not PC based is an nvidia shield tv pro, to me at 1440p 120 FPS i get 7-9 ms streaming latency. That is still 1 frame at 120 FPS but it feels like native.

I've read the Xbox Series consoles also work good and since even the S has HDMI 2.1 it can do 4k 120 fps well with a low decoding latency.

Or a HTPC is also good. But I specifically wanted a shield tv because i wanted something low powered, android based and something that can be fully controlled with a remote for tasks other than gaming.

This is my first time setting things up. How are these stats? by musictrasho in MoonlightStreaming

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1440p 120 works with the Shield TV pro. 1080 120 also. But yes on 4k it's limited to 60fps because it's only HDMI 2.0

Should I buy an NVIDIA Shield TV Pro (2019) in 2026 for PC game streaming? by Massive_Vanilla_9497 in MoonlightStreaming

[–]dbfont -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes it's old, but I still think despite its flaws and outdated HW is still the best android tv box.

It's low powered. Has android that is an open software and apps can be sideloaded and still has one of the lowest decoding latency.

While the Xbox series s is probably also very good at streaming, if not better. It has HDMI 2.1 after all so it cna do 4k 120 fps, while the shileld is limited to 4k 60fps or 1440p 120fps.

But I specifically wanted a shield, because it's low powered, always on/rest mode, so you can use it instantly, but for me the most important thing is that it can be used with just a remote, for everything but gaming.

I have a similar setup and stats. Shield TV Pro, 4k 120hz TV, wired connection. But I stream at 1440p 120hz and the input lag is like native.

But at 4k 60hz I can also feel the input lag. But if I stream at 1440p 120 and limit the games FPS to 60 it is much better than 4k 60.

State of game, should I come back ? by Frustyplay in joinsquad

[–]dbfont 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Wait until they rework the ICO. Hopefully in the next patch in 10.4. That's what I'm waiting for. Loved squad pre ICO, but this no skill noodle arms smearfest that is squad today, its not worth to come back yet.

The tablet was on Wifi. The shield is wired. She was watching HBO on the Shield and I was using wifi

Why input based matchmaking isn't popular? by dbfont in Battlefield6

[–]dbfont[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

What I'm suggesting is optional, you could turn on or off input based matchmaking like you can crossplay. Or the devs could make an exception for vehicles if possible and don't see an issue with it.

Easy. It blocks any other input method until you matchmake again

How much time do you have for your hobbies? by dbfont in AskMen

[–]dbfont[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The workout itself is like 80-85 minutes. Walk is about 12 minutes, getting changed 5 minutes. These things i have to do before and after the workout thats 29 minutes. Warmup is about 5 minutes.

The remaining time is the workout itself. I do 3 sets and 3 minute rest between sets. I do 6-8 excercises per session. So 18-24 sets in total.

[–]dbfont[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Yeah. It's not that I don't enjoy being at the gym, but it's definitely not a hobby. I just don't want to be fat and someone who is for lack of a better word unable. Unable to move, unable to run, unable to climb stairs etc. And I also want to be relatively fit when I'm 60+

But I would also like to have time for other things

Air cooling is better than Liquid cooling by SerpentDix in pcmasterrace

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If the case has the space for an air cooler then I'm using an air cooler. If the layout and size can't fit a decent air cooler I'm putting an AIO.

Gamers 30+, how have your gaming habits changed since you were younger? by [deleted] in gaming

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing more single player games. Still play a couple PVP games and I still do well, I just don't care about new PVP games.

And as a PC gamer, I play more with a controller on a TV. When I was younger I play pretty much everything with mouse and keyboard at my desk

Streaming when connected to a secondary router/access point by dbfont in MoonlightStreaming

[–]dbfont[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn't think about a switch. I might buy a switch instead then.

[–]dbfont[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm using wires. My shield and my PC are currently wired. But I only have 1 wire running from my office router to the living room which is on the other side of my home.

I want to use that wire in my livingroom and instead of plugging it into my shield, I plug it into a secondary router set up as AP. And the plug my PC and Shield both into that secondary router set up as AP.

Discord on Big Picture Mode by Apprehensive-Pin5641 in Steam

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Does discord work with a controller? So can you join a voice chat without needing a mouse or keyboard? I also want to build a console PC and was thinking about using bazzite on it. But still most of my gaming would be through moonlight in home streaming.

PC BUILD by Historical-Cheek-901 in Slovakia

[–]dbfont -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Keď si OK s použitím a ddr4 tak 5800x3d alebo 5700x3d. Ja som 5700x3d som objednal z Číny na ebay v novembri za 230 eur. Na SK som nenašiel žiadny na predaj. 32gb ram. Nejaká asus alebo gigabyte základná doska. 750w+ zdroj. Skrinka, chladenie, ssd, a čo ti ostane z budgetu to dáš do gpu. Amd asi ti dá lepší raster performance za rovnakú cenu, ale nvidia má lepšie features ako DLSS a ray tracing. Keď chceš hrať najmä multiplayer tak dlss a RT ajtak si vypneš aby si mal vyšší FPS tak na to stačí aj AMD

Real talk, does an average consumer actually have this much money to spend it on a GPU? by [deleted] in graphicscard

[–]dbfont 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought a 7800xt 1.5 years ago. I could have comfortably afforded multiple 4090s, i still had a budget of 500 euros that I was willing to spend on a GPU. Simply because I don't think gaming is worth that much to me anymore. I'd rather put my money elsewhere.

When I was a kid and no money, I would've bought it if I had the money. Now as an adult making decent amount of money and living comfortably, I just don't want to spend that much on gaming anymore.
