FPS issues?
Playing a game local on my machine (9800x3d, 5090) it gets say 110fps at 4k.
Using a minipc on the tv, all hardwired 2.5g network, steam link will give me the same 110fps 4k stream, variable bitrate but set to unlimited so going between 100-250mbps. This still has some blur to it so I want to push things with apollo/moonight.
But when I use moonlight on that same machine, the host only delivers ~50 fps. Settings dont matter, I can turn it to low settings and get ~55fps at most. This is at 300/400/500 bitrate I tried them all. Tried NVEC and AV1. HDR and non-HDR.
Any clue what could be going on? Its clearly something on the host apollo is facing that steam link isn't, just steam link quality isn't high enough for me.
Edit: it was HAGS on the host. No clue why, but HAGS and the encoder don’t mix and choke down the system completely. Turn it off and all is good. Weird.
