Finally spent 15 mins setting up Sunshine and Moonlight for AV1 streaming from PC to Steam Deck. God damn it's so good. This is why the nvidia shield was never matched for in-home game streaming: nvidia's streaming platform is simply better than anyone else's. Image quality is immaculate, latency is nonexistent, all while consuming 15mbps or less in bandwidth.
Why be stuck w/ the limited capabilities of the steam deck when I don't want to sit at my desk when I can still use my full fat 4090 PC from the living room? No fiddling with the weird touch controls to set up mods and ***, can just do it all in Windows where I know how everything works and stream it over.
I need to try it over the internet/5G as well to see how it works as a personal 'cloud' server for all my games. Only real complaint is that I have to recalibrate HDR when switching devices since my monitor and the steam deck OLED's screens are disparate enough that it looks a bit bad if I don't, but there's probably a utility that can save multiple profiles for that.
