You know what frustrates me the most about game streaming... It would be perfect for so many styles of games. Puzzle games, strategy RPGs, management games like SimCity or City Skylines and I'm sure a whole bunch of others. But no, all the advertising and marketing says to play first person shooters and other games that require twitch reflexes. It's like the marketing people don't understand the technology and what it's actually good for. Oh wait..
That is a very good point. The game libraries that are supported is really weird. Although I think it has to do with publishers. There was an issue with a lot publishers pulling support for there games right after GeForce experience launched. I guess it also has to do with the games that people most want to play.
Puzzle games can run on anything that was released within the last decade, strategy aren't usually super demanding either and management games require a semi decent CPU and a graphics card... anything that was released in the last decade or two. They are not the type of games one would have issues running as long as they have an almost kinda recent PC. It's FPS and RPGs that ask the most out of a system and the occasional Simulator so it's expected most people to be looking at cloud gaming for those titles instead of the next Civilization.
Exactly, if you live in a town or city without an Azure datacenter as an example your latency could be up to 10X higher than living in a city that does, even in the US regardless of how good your internet is.
Well thats more like the markets fault, with majority playing mind-numbing amounts of CoD, fortnite, or Apex. They just want players to be interested and advertising the ocean of walking simulators probably doesn't sell the service so well. 🤷
A lot of the time when YTers say they're experiencing artifacting, it can be hard for the viewer to detect because there's a bit of a "You had to be there to really experience it" element. Not in this video! Lol
I was one of the "lucky" ones that got one of their suped up Chrome casts for free when I bought Cyberpunk as part of their roll out as a gaming platform. I even got the game pad. All of it has sat in a drawer. But thanks to you I may, in fact, bring it back out of its dark cave, and attempt to play something on it...
I played all the way through cyberpunk with the stadia controller and the Chromecast ultra. It was a good option when gaming computers were so hard to get. And it loads way faster than xbox.
The input lag is not really due to the input devices but rather with the Chromecast video decoder, it adds ~20ms or ~30ms of lag to decode each frame and that's a lot when trying to play games and things. Ideally you want like ~10ms or less for decoding video. Then you also want to enable game mode on the monitor or tv you are playing on to reduce the decode time further.
@@Daniel15au that being said, I can definitely feel the difference between a 1 mil and 2 mil response time monitor. While VERY negligible it does make a slight difference. Probably unnoticeable with Stadia though.
I've been using that exact model of mouse for over 2 years. I had a problem with the charge cable after 6 months, and even though I bought a refurbished unit they posted me a replacement from Hong Kong, I got it 3 working days later in the UK. Good customer service.
Your sense of humour is literally at least half the reason I keep coming back to your videos. If TH-cam ever gets old for you I think a career in comedy is a definite possibility.
Hello Dawid I wanna say that you are a wonderful creator and your videos are both fun and useful. You have inspired me to create my very own tech channel and I will soon be able to properly upload. Thx a lot and keep the work!
I've pushed the Chromecast with Google TV to it's limits. It can run emulators, the GTA mobile ports, with Sentio it can function like a desktop PC. I used parsec to cloud game from my desktop rig and rented a cloud gaming PC that I could access from it. Only thing is I couldn't ADB to it, which is unfortunate because it would be cool to pull it up on my desktop.
Do you think that one of the reasons for some of the input of was the Bluetooth functionality? What if you connected wired peripherals through a usb c dongle?
Absolute godsend, my gaming pc just crapped itself and the repairs are possibly taking a month, realising I can emulate on my chromecast will be a fun project to knock out the month!
back up all your data, buy a usb to sata adapter to copy files across maybe. install your os on to the new ssd, copy across, a windows backup to then restore to the new drive may help.

depending on the gaming setup and the game your playing casting has some advantages. I use it for casting VR games when I have friends over so everyone sees what the player sees. Also works for Lan parties but it's not the best as a primary monitor.
Was hoping you would try xbox's remote play with the Chromecast casting to a TV to see how playable it was. Still atleast shows I can do some other things with my Chromecast if need be.

What I do is stream from my 3080ti pc to my chromecast using moonlight, if you have a good wifi connection you can get 1080p 60 with very low latency and great quality. I usually use this to play emulation games from cemu and similar.
Hey awesome video! Just a suggestion but it seems very desaturated? Almost like it was shot raw and not color corrected. If that intentional then disregard! Love the context, thank you.
Just found out there are powered USB c hubs that you can use with that chrome cast, giving you power and ethernet along usb port for keyboard and mice. Wonder how that would work like
Wiring the controls for streamed play is way better, but there's still enough latency to make it irritating. Definitely far more tolerable than bluetooth..
please get one of those wireless hdmi things connect the chromecast to it then run the chrome cast off a usb battery bank use wireless mouse and keyboard so you can kinda just put the chromecast almost anywhere in a room the input latency will be afull though
Try to stream steam games from pc to the chromecast, with both connect with Ethernet, would be interesting to see if it is a possible way to play pc games on a tv on a different room
I’ve been playing around with streaming games a fair bit for the last few years (predominantly out of curiosity) using a variety of different set ups and one of the things that’s consistently stood out for me is how wildly different input lag can be across different devices. Using my XBox controller to play GeForce Now and GamePass on my iPad Pro or Pixel has always produced an uncomfortable amount of lag, but when I’m on my Mac there’s barely any which makes single player games a perfectly comfortable experience. Using a wired controller basically seems to eliminate lag so I’m convinced the lag is more an issue with Bluetooth devices than with streaming in general. One of the best experiences though, and I’d love for Dawid to try this out, is using a Stadia controller. Yes, you’re stuck playing the limited catalogue on Stadia, but as a proof of concept on how streaming could work it’s seemed pretty much flawless. Of course it’s best on a wired connection, but I’d argue that it even seems to improve wireless connections, I think because the Stadia controller is using Wi-Fi to directly connect to the data centres, so the device isn’t having to pass inputs through the same signal that it’s receiving the game stream over.
I just started streaming games on my phone using an Xbox controller, besides pixelation which goes away fairly quick it actually runs most games and I don't really have much input lag at all. Haven't figured out GeForce now but been primarily using Xbox cloud gaming.
should i buy this google chromecast for screening my phone to tv with ps4 controller I want to play ppsspp games psp games and ps2 games from my android to tv with ps4 controller which connected to my phone by bluetooth
I don’t know Dawid, you said the shape of the Chromecast didn’t fill you with confidence, but keep in mind that all elite gaming setups (in fact all gaming of any kind) can be traced back to a person who came from a sperm.
Is it possible to the use the Chromecast to stream my PC steam games to my TV, since the SteamLink app has been removed from all major TV brand OSs such as Samsung, LG, Sony, ...
I don't recommend an xbox controller with the chromecast. IT has horrible latency when I use it, and you can't get 2 to run at the same time for local coop. I'm gonna see if I can get some stadia controllers and try it out eventually.
Was gifted a Google Stadia set but only to find out I cant use it because theres no Stadia servers where I live. Sucks because its just sitting in my drawer with the hope that it will get more outside support but sadly unlikely..
I've heard the Chromecast input lag is to do with bluetooth connection, and there's practically no input lag when using a stadia controller since it connects to wifi instead of bluetooth. I'm fiddling around with Chromecast Google TV and trying to sideload PS Remote play. I have trouble pairing the stadia controller there, I hope to have more luck by using the 3rd party app PSPlay
Hey Dawid. Ever thought about checking out the pre-builds from New Egg. You probably have already, but if not you can check out some pretty good PCs there.
Im curious... is the weird low saturation I think I see a symptom of the monitor, the chromecast, or some weird mismatch between the monitor and camera. Your transitions and whatnot look fine, so I know its not the video itself.
Maybe you can make a video about steams image upsacling software. It's called lossless image upsacling And costs about 4 euros. Would be pretty interesting
Should do an episode on the game streaming apps, stadia, Luna, GeForce in classic Dawid style using something unconventional like a students Chromecast laptop.
@@DawidDoesTechStuff okay lol I figured you did because you’re obviously no stranger to video games I was just curious also love your content dude! Been watching for the last couple of months now and the comments you make crack me up 🤣
Were you streaming the games from a gaming PC or from "the cloud"? If it's from a gaming PC and the PC isn't too far away, try connecting the controller/keyboard/mouse directly to the PC using Bluetooth, rather than to the Chromecast. It can help reduce the input lag.
I tried using Steam Link the other day to play some Hitman 2 on my Chromecast Ultra and it was so bad. Even with my PC connected to the router via ethernet and the chromecast connected via 5G. The screen on my computer was reacting right away but the delay on the tv was just too much to be playable. Still infinitely better than Stadia, though.
Hmm, I have the Chromecast TV dongle and have yet to try G-Force Now. That might be interesting. I have used it to play one of the new Tomb Raiders in the PC client and had a good experience aiming at enemies.
Dawid: “It looks like a high-tech sperm to me…”
Me: (Disappointed in my low tech sperm 😢)
Don't be disappointed. There's plenty of fun to be had with the low tech solution.

If you could find a USB hub with Ethernet and power passthrough you could reduce the keyboard and mouse input lag by going wired.
USB c "laptop docks" tend to have this functionality.

That’s a good idea. I tried to plug a usb c hub into the the Ethernet dongle and it didn’t work, but I’m sure a single dongle would work much better.

IDK, I've had my Google TV Chromecast since it launched and the remote has not picked up any grime at all.
I wonder if the mouse and keyboard performed worse than the gamepad because using two wireless devices put more load on the system.
Why this video looks kinda grey and worned out compared to your previous videos? Is this video supposed to be watched using a screen supporting HDR?
I'm using Android 9 device with an LCD screen. This definitely ain't looking right to me.
I use this with moonlight to do in home streaming. It works very well WITH ETHERNET.
Is the input lag because of the Chrome cast being low spec or because you’re streaming the game? Or both?
Streaming, video decoding and wireless peripherals is probably the main cause of the input lag.
