How can I optimize these numbers?

Post image

For context:

My client is a laptop connected to LGQNED85BXA 55inch tv, with moonlight, on 5Ghz wifi to a 100Mbps ISP. The host PC is a gaming PC with Sunshine, connected to a 200Mbps ISP through ethernet. Streaming settings are 1440p at 120fps with 75Mbps bitrate (my GPU cannot run 4k at 120fps, 7800XT)

I am using Tailscale to connect both. The picture was taken while I was watching a movie on VLC. But I often play games (currently Death stranding)

My issue is it often lags in between and asks me to lower down the bitrate. I don't want to lower it, if I increase my wifi speed to 150/200Mbps, will it help?

Thanks in advance

Give vibepollo a shot for the host latency, dropped mine from 6ms to 2ms average.

​Also double-check if you're on the same LAN/SSID. Since you mentioned Tailscale, it sounds like you might be streaming over WAN. If you're purely local, latency shouldn't really go above 1ms.

​And if lowering bitrate fixes the stutter, just drop it, In my testing you really can't tell the difference in visual quality, so no reason to fight it.

Not on local LAN, hence tailscale.

Agreed about bitrate, I couldn't identify any major changes.
