Reply to comment by derscudo in Nvidia kills off GameStream on Shield, points users to Steam by thebelsnickle1991

In my experience (11700k, 3060, Ethernet wired PC) Game stream via Moonlight looks better and is smoother at similar bitrates. This is both using the Steam Link Android client (wireless) and using the Steam Link hardware device with Ethernet (which I installed Moonlight on).

I'd say Steam Link is close but not as good.

And the Steam Link hardware is no longer being produced. I have one, it’s great, but it’s not like valve is releasing better versions

You still have a lot of devices that run steam link, so that's not a showstopper luckily

I hear the Apple TV 4K is solid

Would you say it was an upgrade? I don’t have any specific complaints with the steam link hardware. My wired connection works well with barely noticeable lag and not too bothered by it being capped at 1080

I never used a original steam link, the Apple TV 4k is my first in House streaming device for steam link. The 1080 thing is a steam link Software thing, my Apple TV doesn't go higher in the app

You know, I was thinking about Moonlight on Apple tv for the higher resolution. I guess that’s no longer a consideration

I never heard of moonlight before until this thread. There is an app for it on Apple TV, but I guess it works with the game streaming this thread talks about? So it's going obsolete?

Yeah it uses the Nvidia solution that’s being discontinued. But maybe the moonlight devs will be able to keep it supported somehow.
