Steam In-Home-Streaming 4K

[MangoIce]

I just want to know if this can work.

 

 

I have a rig with a GTX 980 and a i7 4790K as the server pc thing.

 

I was thinking for the computer which receives the signal could be a Intel NUC, or the Gigabyte BRIX version. It would connect to a 4K Samsung TV.

 

I'm only really going to stream GTA V at 4K at about 30 - 45 fps (thats what the GTX 980 is able to do).

 

 

Please whether what I'm doing is stupid or should i do it a specific way or what.

 

Do I connect my computer to the media PC via LAN or do i connect them to directly with ethernet to the router.

Your Gonna need an Insanely good router.  

 

I'm not sure in home streaming is up to the task of 4k just yet.

 

 If you can direct connect everything to the router with Ethernet cables. Try to streamline the path from the computer to the receiver as much as possible and use gigabit Ethernet if you can.

 

That would be your best bet

The ethernet through power lines has a lot of lag. Will games be played?

only GTA V in 4K at roughly 35 FPS.

 

I see you live in England which I do to, which internet do you have. I'm in London

It's going to be coming. Gigabit Ethernet is ubiquitous on the cheapest of motherboards now, and ten gigabit is available on high end consumer stuff. Especially when you factor in the fact that your NUC probably does not support HDMI 2.0 or DisplayPort 1.2 so you would be limited to 30hz anyway, there's no real reason for it to be offlimits.

 

Personally, though, I would be far more excited about supporting high quality multichannel audio over 4K. While 4K at my monitor is glorious, at my TV I'm sitting too far away for 1080p to not be as good as it gets without buying a bigger TV. 5.1 Surround, however, would have a massive improvement over the stereo supported by Steam IHS.
