You know what frustrates me the most about game streaming... It would be perfect for so many styles of games. Puzzle games, strategy RPGs, management games like SimCity or City Skylines and I'm sure a whole bunch of others. But no, all the advertising and marketing says to play first person shooters and other games that require twitch reflexes. It's like the marketing people don't understand the technology and what it's actually good for. Oh wait..

That is a very good point. The game libraries that are supported is really weird. Although I think it has to do with publishers. There was an issue with a lot publishers pulling support for there games right after GeForce experience launched. I guess it also has to do with the games that people most want to play.

Puzzle games can run on anything that was released within the last decade, strategy aren't usually super demanding either and management games require a semi decent CPU and a graphics card... anything that was released in the last decade or two. They are not the type of games one would have issues running as long as they have an almost kinda recent PC. It's FPS and RPGs that ask the most out of a system and the occasional Simulator so it's expected most people to be looking at cloud gaming for those titles instead of the next Civilization.

The input lag is not really due to the input devices but rather with the Chromecast video decoder, it adds ~20ms or ~30ms of lag to decode each frame and that's a lot when trying to play games and things. Ideally you want like ~10ms or less for decoding video. Then you also want to enable game mode on the monitor or tv you are playing on to reduce the decode time further.

depending on the gaming setup and the game your playing casting has some advantages. I use it for casting VR games when I have friends over so everyone sees what the player sees. Also works for Lan parties but it's not the best as a primary monitor.

that LINODE ad is so therapeutic

Was hoping you would try xbox's remote play with the Chromecast casting to a TV to see how playable it was. Still atleast shows I can do some other things with my Chromecast if need be.

Try to stream steam games from pc to the chromecast, with both connect with Ethernet, would be interesting to see if it is a possible way to play pc games on a tv on a different room

Have your forgot colorgrading? Or why are the colors so flat?

Absolute godsend, my gaming pc just crapped itself and the repairs are possibly taking a month, realising I can emulate on my chromecast will be a fun project to knock out the month!

The Linode ad by Dawid is the only one on YT that I watch entirely ! 😁😁 About the Chromecast gaming, hen you think the "PC" (ie the Chromecast) cost no more than the controller, it's pretty cheap !

What I do is stream from my 3080ti pc to my chromecast using moonlight, if you have a good wifi connection you can get 1080p 60 with very low latency and great quality. I usually use this to play emulation games from cemu and similar.

I've pushed the Chromecast with Google TV to it's limits. It can run emulators, the GTA mobile ports, with Sentio it can function like a desktop PC. I used parsec to cloud game from my desktop rig and rented a cloud gaming PC that I could access from it. Only thing is I couldn't ADB to it, which is unfortunate because it would be cool to pull it up on my desktop.

Using the chrome cast with steam link is amazing

Why didn't you connect wired to the usb hub the gamepad?

nice concise and helpful video. Been trying to use steamlink app with spermcast but i see now I need the ethernet adapter thanks man!

would it be possible to connect a elgato in connection with that?

I've heard the Chromecast input lag is to do with bluetooth connection, and there's practically no input lag when using a stadia controller since it connects to wifi instead of bluetooth. I'm fiddling around with Chromecast Google TV and trying to sideload PS Remote play. I have trouble pairing the stadia controller there, I hope to have more luck by using the 3rd party app PSPlay

Would be cool to see how Parsec works with that, latency going to another machine in the house hooked up over gigabit should be pretty low in theory

I use moonlight on my Chromecast all the time to stream my PC games from my office upstairs to the living room downstairs. The lag is imperceptible.

Would cooling help performance?

Were you streaming the games from a gaming PC or from "the cloud"? If it's from a gaming PC and the PC isn't too far away, try connecting the controller/keyboard/mouse directly to the PC using Bluetooth, rather than to the Chromecast. It can help reduce the input lag.

Why are the colours so Muted?

I’ve been playing around with streaming games a fair bit for the last few years (predominantly out of curiosity) using a variety of different set ups and one of the things that’s consistently stood out for me is how wildly different input lag can be across different devices. Using my XBox controller to play GeForce Now and GamePass on my iPad Pro or Pixel has always produced an uncomfortable amount of lag, but when I’m on my Mac there’s barely any which makes single player games a perfectly comfortable experience. Using a wired controller basically seems to eliminate lag so I’m convinced the lag is more an issue with Bluetooth devices than with streaming in general. One of the best experiences though, and I’d love for Dawid to try this out, is using a Stadia controller. Yes, you’re stuck playing the limited catalogue on Stadia, but as a proof of concept on how streaming could work it’s seemed pretty much flawless. Of course it’s best on a wired connection, but I’d argue that it even seems to improve wireless connections, I think because the Stadia controller is using Wi-Fi to directly connect to the data centres, so the device isn’t having to pass inputs through the same signal that it’s receiving the game stream over.
