Yes you get the PC's power, obviously with the delay of sending the display contents to you.

 

There are programs like Rainway or Parsec that are gaming-focused so lower latency than RDP or VNC.

Hi everybody!

i’m not sure if this is the right place to post this… Anyway I was wondering if I could connect to my PC remotely. I know that I can connect to the Pc with Remote Desktop or Team viewer or something like that. But the question is that if from a less powerful machine like a miniPC or a laptop can I use all the power from a PC? Would I be bottlenecked by the laptop/miniPC? I understand you can’t game because of latency, but what about using it for designing or rendering?

 

thank everyone beforehand!

I'm sorry if i made any spelling mistakes, i'm not an English speaker.

If you are remoted into the PC… you are using the PC remoted into. The machine you use to remote in from has 0 affect on anything being done on the remote side.

Other than if the machine you are remoting from is unable to keep up with the decoding requirements.

Sure. But… that shouldn’t be an issue for anything even remotely modern. But yes, this is a correct statement.

Ok! Thanks everybody for your responses, the workload I’m planning is solid works so there shouldn’t be any problem there…
