It does not save raw, uncompressed video, so it won’t burn through your disk space like a few other utilities. The built-in encoder does have a small impact on performance, but this is no more than 3%, so we’re talking less than 1 FPS loss in most cases. This means that your CPU isn’t taking the brunt of the encoding task, slowing your game down in the process. All modern NVIDIA GPUs now come with a dedicated video encoder on-chip. However, no one will want to watch your stream if your game is running at 15 frames per second because you can’t encode the video fast enough. Not only does it allow others to see what you are doing, but also interact with you in real-time, while you are playing.

Sharing your gaming sessions has become a big part of the modern Internet with ‘Let’s Play’ videos popping up all over the place. Your graphics card can not only render games, but with the help of GFE, it can save your playthroughs or stream them across different services, such as Twitch or YouTube. Afterwards, the game will launch right up.Īs an aside, you can read our review of NVIDIA’s SHIELD Android TV right here. While there is a small performance hit to frame rates, any streamed games will run pretty much as if they were native. What’s really nice about this feature is that if a game or store client (eg: Steam, Origin) requires an update, it won’t become a roadblock thanks to the fact that you’ll be able to use Windows as soon as you connect, allowing you to take over the mouse with your SHIELD device to click what needs to be clicked.

This low latency wireless setup and gaming experience is streamed through the GeForce Experience app.

Your PC does the legwork with all the rendering, while the SHIELD shows you the results. If you have a GeForce GTX 600-Series or later GPU, and an NVIDIA SHIELD device, you can stream your desktop games to it. You have a beefy PC in the other room at the ready, and a tablet, what do you do? Sometimes, all you want to do is shoot people in the face for an hour from the comfort of your sofa, but you don’t want to distract your loved one’s season finale on TV.
