I was playing God of War (PC version) on my phone in obscene places I should not have been able to. People were looking at me funny on the bus when I cracked up at Atreus mocking Kratos with 'Boy, read this. Boy, what does that say!'
But so many moonlight/sunshine problems end up having the word "wifi" in there somewhere 🤣. Hardwire, dammit!
And at gigabit as well. Was having all kinds of steaming issues because it frequently spikes over 100Mbps.
It depends on the device, it's decoding abilities, how much lag that introduces and how much you're willing to accept. Counterintuitively, sometimes lowering the moonlight network bandwidth setting improves latency and gameplay.
There's a good discussion about this on reddit.
I game at 1440@120fps and 1080p@120fps, and from memory the highest I've set the network bandwidth setting is 40mbps. Also,.on some devices, using h264 and disabling HEVC works much better, as h264 is so much easier to decode.
But, you bet I'm still hardwired at 1gbps!
Thinking about it, it was probably Steam Link that was going that high. I tried Sunshine/Moonlight on a whim after getting bad performance from Steam and it's been so much better.
Could never find acceptable settings for Steam link to work.
