"nVidiaCast"

[Eddyall]

As anyone heard about something like ChromeCast but for PC streaming?

Because I seriously can not be the first one to thing about it.

 

And if not who wouldn't want it if they had a Kepler GPU?

Nvida Shield.

I see no need for this, I have my TiVO and the chrome cast is literally £25, it can't get much cheaper.

Nvida Shield.

 

I was thinking of a 40-50$ option, not 300 or 200 for the Tegra Note.

That's impossible. Gamestreaming needs some serious hardware.

If the OUYA can be 80$, nVidia can make a 40-50$ version that doesn't play game.

But the OUYA is a piece of junk.

nVidia has 2 option at the moment for console mode (Streaming PC game to your TV and using a Bluetooth controller), the Shield at 300$ and the Tegra Note 7 at 200$.

 

My idea is that if nVidia made something that's basically a Wi-Fi/Bluetooth/H.264 decoder HDMI key that you plug in your tv, you would get an option that virtually 10 times cheaper. Meaning that those who want to stream their game on their TV but not pay in the 3 numbers for another Android device, have an option in the 2 numbers. A price at 2 number instead of 3 is a significant improvement, you therefore get a lot more potential customer, like the majority of people with Kepler GPU.

 

What they could do is just make a smaller version of the OUYA that isn't means to play game (Not need for things like storage because it's just a relay) and that's it, official nVidia "console" for less than the price of a game. Hell just buy OUYA and do some modification to the console and your done.

My understanding is that game stream doesn't work on Tegra Note... Maybe I misunderstood? I thought you can just play Android games over HDMI with a Bluetooth controller.

you can via bluetooth.

Also seem to be right about tegra note :3 altho i havent got hands-on experience. but according to people i've talked to its not working.

Wait never mind there is no game streaming

No, I think I'm the one who misread, but it just makes this idea better because now you would go from a 300$ solution to a ~90%.

But that also means it's not going to happen because it would kill one of the biggest selling point of the Shield.

 

It also means I'm not getting a Tegra Note anymore.

 

Edit: Well I've looked at a few more page on Google not just nVidia blog and EVGA and it seems that when the article was publish on nVidia's blog on Sep.18, a few website write it could do PC streaming so I'm going to wait for you to have a sample unit to know if it can't or not.

Ryan Shrout also said it doesn't work, But Tomshardware says otherwise.

I thought that was the whole premise behind it?

 

I feel like the best thing a company would do, would be to enable you desktop computer to be plugged into a device, which transmits the image to your tv, via whatever. and then be able to control it with a controller, and have almost no delay. That'd be epic.

 

It'll probably be like this with Steambox sort of, if you get a steambox, use steam storage, and nvidias gpu streaming, you could get a super cheap steambox just to recieve the signal, and play it on your tv, monitor, shield, tablet, vita, whatever.

why cant they make something where i can stream a game from my pc to my laptop? why is that so hard? i dont care if both have to have nvidia graphics cards just let me stream simcity from my desktop to my laptop so i can sit in my bed when its cold!

I agree. And the tablet formfactor allows you to have a thin device hooked up to your tv. Then, you can connect a bluetooth controller to it and stream games directly from your pc on your couch.  Missed opportunity by Nvidia, imo. I would rather get the Nexus 7 directly from the horse's mouth and have guaranteed OS updates as soon as Google releases them.
