Nvidia Gamestream vs Razer Cortex Stream vs Steam In-Home Streaming

MagicalPancake

Sorry if this has been posted before but I was wondering what your thoughts were on these three competing streaming services. The most important thing for me is supported games. Which solution has the most? Also, is Nvidia's Grid service any good? My internet probably can't handle streaming Grid games right now, but my area has voted to install fiber so maybe in the future. :D  I'm thinking of buying either a Shield, a Forge TV, or the Steam Link which will be mainly used for streaming PC games (not really interested in any of the android tv games or apps) so the different streaming services will be the deciding factor in my purchase.

In-home Streaming has nothing to do with internet speeds, it is all based on your home network which would cap out at 1Gbps assuming you have the supported cards/onboard and Cat5e/6 cables

I'd say Steam Link would be the best buy at only $50. You can stream your entire Steam library.

 

Why is the shield portable so expensive now? wtf. $449 that's outrageous

No, I'm talking about the Grid Streaming from Nvidia.
