Luna streaming vs Local PC host (Moonlight/Sunshine/Steam Link) — What is your setup preference for games you already own?
Hi everyone,
I'm evaluating how to best handle my gaming setup when a title is available on Amazon Luna but I already own it on PC (Steam, Epic, GOG, EA, Ubisoft, etc.).
Since both setups end up targetting 1080p / 60 FPS streams on my living room devices (using a MacBook Air or ROG Ally as client):
- Luna Stream: Plug-and-play streaming direct from the cloud.
- Local Streaming: Streaming from my home gaming rig via Sunshine + Moonlight / Steam Link. My host PC specs: Ryzen 7 7800X3D, 32 GB RAM, RTX 4070 Ti 12 GB.
For those of you who have a capable local gaming PC and stream locally:
- Do you ever choose Luna over your own home PC stream for games you already own?
- How are graphics presets / visual quality typically configured on Luna server instances compared to running high/ultra settings locally on a modern GPU?
- Is the convenience of not waking up/managing a local PC host worth any difference in visual density or input latency on Luna?
Would love to hear your experiences and pros/cons for both approaches!
