Related question, would you say it is worth going for a GTx 960 over an R9 380 just for the Shield? Because it does look really cool.

How good is your router? If you don't have a good router then streaming is very difficult at this point.

You mean internet speed? Or coverage or what?

What do you mean?

 

The 380 is a better GPU for pc gaming

Someone else can probably explain better, but I'll try. If I am correct, you want dual-band and probably AC. Just a general good connection and a very decent router.

That is giving up on your desktop performance to get more mobile performance, your call I'd say.

I'll probably wind up going for the GTX 960, if nothing else for Shield, Shadowplay (which I WILL use quite a bit), and the fact that future games are likely to be Nvidia optimised, seeing as it makes sense to spend time optimising your game for the GpUs which make up 60% of the market.

I wanted one but by the time I was actually going to buy one the next version came out and isn't the same style. I don't want a tablet, I want a gaming device with a real controller. I would totes buy one if they had a new version come out.
