Gamming With Remote Desktop Connection
1 hour ago, Dukes1995 said:Really? I would think that there would be someway of doing it because to get enough bandwidth just to run a graphics card to the motherboard you need about 40GBPS so get all of the performance out of the card. Much like how UFD tech did to put a graphics card on the steam deck he couldn't quite get the bandwidth but like whispous said what about the latency? Which begs the question why can't you do what you can on Remote Desktop Connection with the latency of steam in home streaming?
Why can't you drill a brick wall with a screwdriver? Light an entire room with a single LED?
Sure the action is still the same, but its not designed to do that and as such is far too inefficient to do so effectively.
RDP is designed to be really responsive for running applications where only bits of the screen need to be refreshed, that inherently is less efficient when you need to refresh the WHOLE screen as its using compression designed to be fast for updating small parts of the screen at a time. Full screen streaming solutions use standard hardware accelerated codecs to send the WHOLE screen as a video stream, which in turn are less efficient and higher latency if all you need to do is change a small section of the screen. They''re designed for completely different scenarios.
VNC even has multiple encoding/updating methods to try to deal with mixed scenarios, but AFAIK its not automatic, you choose which one is best for your use-case and none the last I tried was any good for refreshing large parts of the screen. I sometimes preview videos over VNC, it starts to drop frames if the Window is bigger than about 720p as its trying to maintain low latency rather than frame consistency.
