EDIT: To quote GamerNexus, “ Using the Puck outside, we were able to get around 146 feet (44.5m) away with direct line-of-sight before it completely dropped out. In a house, you’d lose connection much sooner due to walls and obstacles. Still, it’s an impressive range.”
Yeah I wouldn't recommend, if you have to though I have had better experience with DP. Also, you need the ones with the repeaters.
>I doubted long HDMI cables would work well, so I never bought one. Turns out we've had active fiber optics cables for a good while now! Yeah I wouldn't recommend, if you have to though I have had better experience with DP. Also, you need the ones with the repeaters.
If you already have Ethernet at both ends I cannot recommend enough game streaming. With the right setup it is almost identical to having my computer plugged in physically, and I am very sensitive to input latency. I can get 4K HDR 120Hz running over gigabit Ethernet without visually sacrificing too much on bitrate, but you can squeeze more bitrate at lower fps or 1440p (obviously) if that is your preference. You can…
There still some issues. If your beefy machine has monitor of a different resolution it gets a bit wacky. In the past I had to plug fake HDMI-EDID thing because my main PC is ultra-wide and what will get streamed is a coin toss: sometimes it's ultra-wide made to fit in destination screen, sometimes It's something else.
If game you're trying to stream has a launcher: again, coin toss - might display launcher that is PITA to use from controller or not at all. I recall having to walk to another room to do the launcher steps on the main PC to play on steam deck.
Meanwhile, PS Portal is flawless when connected to 5GHz network.

Why not? I’ve been using 75ft fibre optic HDMIs for a few years now and can play counter-strike on it like normal. They work great
Also a Bluetooth dongle in my attic about 40ft USB cable. Works great for home assistant too and Bluetooth devices like plant sensors outside the house over ble
Bonus points if you do tailscale and jetkvm or wake on LAN and can moonlight from anywhere.

>Doom Dark Ages can even run the RT entirely in software, implemented in AMD's Linux drivers: Running RT in Software doesn't mean it's free, it just draws the performance penalty from the rest of the system. And the demo in the youtube link you shared shows this. Like sure, it's playable, but it looks like game from 2009. It looks fine for playing on a small handheld device like the steam deck, but not on a 27"-60" m…
Sure, but it's also running on a GPU that's almost 10 years old and wasn't even high end at release. So I think it's fine performance for the hardware.
