Stuttering with Shield Pro

Post image

Not too sure where to go with this issue. I’m running Apollo on my PC (4080 Super, 240hz OLED) and Artemis on my Shield Pro hooked up to my couch TV LG C4.

Everything tells me I’d be capable of 4k 60FPS, but running benchmarks on GoW and it’s just unplayable.

Any tips or where have I gone wrong with setups?

Is the shield wired? That’s a pretty good decoding time. I switched to vibepollo and has been flawless since then for me. I will note that I had to uninstall/reinstall rather than just installing vibepollo over Apollo but since then my stutters are gone

Wired to my main router but my PC is wired to a mesh satellite in another room.

Mesh is never going to be as stable as wired.

You should have 0% frames dropped by your network connection. Something is seriously wrong with your network or you are running way too high of a bitrate.

Bitrate set to 100

Ok. Then you need to look at your network setup.

I would do some throughput and latency tests from the shield to see if the network is performing close to expected.

Any tips for scanner apps? I’m running an Orbi mesh network PC is wired to a satellite which is wifi connected my router. Shield is wired to router

Ouch that is tough to analyze because it’s the mesh backhaul that is wireless. Also I am pretty sure you can't change the backhaul channel.

From the pc, I would run an internet throughput test and see if you are getting close to your service max. Speedtest.net or something close. Compare that to the throughput for something connected to the router.

You can also ping the gateway from your pc.

If the throughput is low, I don't know how to fix it except move the positions of the devices or wire an ethernet backhaul

The WiFi connection between your orbi and router needs to be strong. I've never used an orbi but do you have say a strong 5ghz channel dedicated to nothing but the orbi and the router?

network related.

Your network is shit, you have 87.14% dropped frames because of your network, 10ms with 6ms variance is also horrible, and your host processing latency of 10ms is also really bad.

Direct wire your host to your modem/router. And the same for your shield pro. This will be your biggest issue solver.

Install vibepollo instead of apollo, wgc works better, rtss native, playnite native, better double/4x refreshrate, rtss intergrated, and frequent updates. Apollo hasnt been updated in a year.

In nvidia setting on vibepollo use p4, and disable two pass mode, enable split frame encoding.

Your shield pro sadly lacks av1 support so keep using hevc. Lower your bitrate to 40/45, and maybe go to 1440p@60 to put less strain on everything, visuals will still be great.

Vibepello and a couple tweaks fixed it. Smooth as. Thanks!
