> GameStream allowed you to add games that weren’t available on Steam manually. For that, Nvidia is pointing toward its paid GeForce Now cloud gaming service [...]
The article appears incorrect, and seems to assume you can add your own games to GeForce Now.... you can't. I have hundreds of games in my Steam library, but it loads less than 20 in my GeForce Now library. Pretty shitty to find out now that I'm searching for a Stadia replacement...

I was gonna say, the vive was for a brief time the best headset on the market and I've had zero complaints. Never got another one so can't speak to their quality but I definitely my money's worth.

AFAIK, GameStream is the only tool that provides reasonably good HDR streaming. I’ve been using Moonlight anyway, but if they remove the GeForce Experience parts I’ll be pretty pissed.

All these positive comments make I feel like I'm crazy one here because SteamLink works absolutely horrendous for me compared to Moonlight and Parsec. Must be something with my setup.

Well, the LAN speed shouldn’t change at all, unless the previous router was garbage. And still, this has nothing to do with fiber.

Sure not directly, but fibre does allow for higher theoretical speeds and more importantly greater simultaneous upload and download speeds. Higher maximum up/down speeds will translate to faster Wifi if your router and devices can support them.

Well.. I can’t afford food & rent these days. I’ll not be buying anything like that soon which is why I mentioned if a free one found it’s way to me I wouldn’t be upset lol.

What could possibly go wrong…

Assuming you want to know, the Nvidia Shield is a set-top box that runs Android TV as it's operating system, and is fairly game focused in it's purpose (though it can also playback media and do a lot of other stuff).
Gamestream is software that allows users to stream games from a PC to an Nvidia Shield. It allows people to keep their powerful gaming PC set up at a desk, while also being able to play sitting on their couch in the living room. (And may also be able to stream across the internet, I'm not sure. I don't have a shield, but Steam's equivalent software can work remotely, though it takes mighty good internet to be able to get it to work smoothly.)

Steamlink has gotten much better and works great on Shield.

Sunlight is the server, moonlight is the client. Sunshine supports amd, intel and nvidea video devices, so it should work with anything.

Thanks. I dont use on shield, but did read about sunshine because I was considering getting a AMD card instead of Nvidia. Ironically today I got a 3070ti, and now Im like should I return and get a 6800xt? Does Sunshine work as well as moonlight? I use it quite a bit

Sunshine is a recreation of game stream so it should show up on any device you are able to scan for game stream servers. So if the question is can you still use it on a shield, if you can get moonlight installed, sure.

You don’t need a Facebook account, you need a Meta account. That’s like saying a YouTube account is a Google account.

Yes but a bunch DO NOT work, where as with game-stream they did.
