Does game streaming over your local network require having good internet from your isp

No, since it's happening over your local network, not over the Internet.

How can I prove that that is the case

Look at the bandwidth-usage.

Huh I guess it's just inconsistent wifi. That's probably my problem.

u mean from one device to another in the same house?

that does not involve your internet

 

but it does require you to have a decently good router for it to work well, because you'll need decent speed to get decent fps and clarity

I have this router https://www.netgear.com/home/products/networking/wifi-routers/R8000.aspx i think it is good enough for game streaming

also depends on the signal strength if you're using wifi

and the streaming PC have to be decently strong enough to encode the stream too

Nothing wrong with the router, but you still need good WiFi-connection on any of the streaming-hosts and -clients as well.

I am using this adapter for my pc https://www.asus.com/us/Networking/PCE-AC55BT/ also I have a ryzen 5 2600 and a rx 5700. Also for the other end I am using a oculus quest with radeon relive

You have to remember that unlike wired LAN / Ethernet, Wifi is not a Duplex signal. It does not send and receive at the same time. If you have too many devices on the wireless network things can get congested. Your best bet is to hardwire as many of the devices as possible

hmm... im not too familiar with streaming from PC to oculus quest but sounds like the bandwidth needed is super high for decent VR experience... and im not sure if your PC is using CPU or GPU encode

[Idk9855]

Ill just try using ethernet with my pc and see if that helps

Assuming OP is using Steam, Steam uses GPU-encoding by default.

There is a app on sidequest called radeon relive https://sdq.st/a/1297. I just open the app on my quest and then click the game that i want to play on steam and than it just works from there so I guess it is using gpu encoding because of steam

Radeon Relive also uses GPU-encoding, yes.

I think a rx 5700 can handle encoding stuff. ill try ueing ethernet on my pc and see if that helps

it's not the best encoder, but at high bit rate it doesnt really matter much i guess
