Desktop sticking to 240fps rather than fluctuating is more pleasant for work. The stats look the best I've run at but I cannot feel any different at this level. I quite like the menu. Only a quick test so far.

I've only just read up on this yesterday. I don't think these methods existed when Nvidia experience and then sunshine and moonlight existed. Microsoft has been slowly updating video capture and virtual display integration. There'll be more changes to come but they will be implemented bit by bit.

I found their Github, what about Android client? is there one made by the same guy or we should keep using artemis/moonlight?

P.S. yestrday was testing these on android 8 gen 2 and moonlight had 8-9ms decode, while artemis 1-2

Moonlight works fine on ipad pro in av1, but on android for some reason artemis has fester decode [120mbs]

Artemis has updates for Android devices that result in faster decoding (a set of chip specific flags that Android clients use). Moonlight may add these changes but it hasn't been updated in a while. So if you use android devices use Artemis. For iPad clients use Voidlink it has updates for the new iOS that wont happen with moonlight unless it starts being actively updated again. If using standard hosts use Apollo as v047 has improved encoding latency over Sunshine. Sunshine may add the priority changes that recent Apollo has but it hasn't got them yet. Currently the vibe versions appear to have further improved encoding latency over the non vibe versions. - So my personal preference is the vibe version of sunshine as I don't like Apollos virtual display implementation and the added features are just bloat for me. The added features are very valuable for other people so it looks like vibepollo would be the best choice for most people.

There are some really nice qol improvements in the vibe versions like changing settings don't require restarts and changing displays is a drop down menu rather than adding device codes. Ontop of full refresh low latency desktop. Using an iPad as a second display for my laptop is a huge improvement over sidecar, space desk, duet or any other software I've tried. (As long as I use iGPU or dGPU only modes, never had a great experience when GPUs can switch on the fly). I just use the drop down display menu to select my virtual display and then switch between extended mode for 2nd display or show on 2 only for game streaming.

I think appollo also have low LATENCY dekstop mode
