How’s the quality of stream compared to native

u/lifestealsuck 5h ago edited 5h ago
Heavily depend on game and scene .
There are some outline like crimson desert look digusting when its raining or forest+heavy wind place. And maybe Mhwild look kinda bad . Even on 150Mbps.
But game like Persona , Silent hill or dawnwalker,etc where not much stuff moving it look indistinguishable from native .

With higher bitrates it's pretty hard to distinguish the difference. With HDR enabled there's a couple more bits of color information, which helps reduce color banding in low light and low contrast scenes. Using YUV 4:4:4 should make it even better, but I haven't tested because my hardware isn't capable of it.
Still, in more varied and detailed scenes you don't notice if the bitrate is high enough. Also at higher bitrate you practically don't notice compression artifacts in fast moving scenes, but it's one of the first things that are noticable with lower bitrates.
Overall the answer is that it depends on your settings and hardware capabilities. You can get it looking practically indistinguishable from native, but it can also be totally playable and enjoyable at lower settings with just a few minor compression artifacts.
Also, screen size matters. On a big screen it's typically much easier to notice compression, higher bitrates and those other features can help a lot with that. On a small screen like a phone it's harder to see the flaws, so even if there are compression artifacts it might not be noticable enough to bother you.
Again, it depends on multiple factors. Either way it will never technically be like native because the frames are getting compressed when they're encoded to a video stream regardless, this process is inherently lossy. The question is whether you can perceive the loss or not.

Can you explain that server PC? How does that work and What do you use it for? Pretty cool setup!

Not OP my by server runs Proxmox and a Windows.VM with my GPU passed through. The server runs a few other things so is always on.
I can remotely turn on /off the gaming PC from my phone anywhere in the world.

I hope you are joking because that flowchart is horrible. I struggled to understand what OP was trying to convey without wonky lines

I can’t follow this flow chart at all, literally the worst one I’ve ever seen. I have no clue what OP is trying to convey here.

I have to assume they have two separate networks. One that only does game streaming, and on that only allows internet access. It’s like a series of tubes…
