For anyone wondering, in general Moonlight is faster for Nvidia GPUs, way more smooth and almost no input lag. Use that if you have one and thank me later

This was one of the videos that got me to switch. I set up Sunshine/moonlight on my Steam Deck and never looked back. I liked how streaming was implemented in the SteamOS UI. That is the only advantage to Steam Remote Play. The disadvantages: random quality drops rendering unplayable, random technical issues like flickering screen, terribly input latency, etc. Every night I wanted to play started with 30 minutes of tinkering with strange issues.

I don't know how Valve has such a poor remote play solution but it really is their worst software.

for me when i try to move the mouse with steamlink it lags but for moonlight it's very smooth and no input lag or low resolution

Hey thanks for this video, I randomly found it when browsing the web and I didn't know there was a steam link alternative that had way less input lag, I can now finally games that require low latency on my TV. I'm enjoying Lies of P atm.
There's still some lag compared to directly on the pc but it's like 10-20 ms (using sunshine and moonlight) now 40-50. cheers.

Hi Selim, I haven't bought a Chromecast with Google TV, so this might be a stupid question. Did you side load Moonlight or was it on the app store to download? If you side loaded it, what was the process? Many thanks for this!

I've had huge issues with Steam Link on the new Chromecast TV, display latency has also been at 42-58 ms, even at 3 Mbps 720p! Tried all the settings and combinations...

I can stream with the same router to my Oculus Quest 2 in 4K 90 fps in stable 30 ms at 80 Mbps bitrate!

Steam Link doesn't work well at all on the Chromecast TV; gotta be the decoding on the device I guess?
