The Thin Client – Start Playing PC Games on Your Raspberry Pi
- boxerbk 10y agoHi Hackernews, we just released software for the Raspberry Pi that lets you connect to a gaming PC and play any PC game at 60 FPS, low latency and at 1080p. In this article, we explain how we achieved it, and some changes we made to SDL to make it all work. Would love to know your thoughts. Thanks
- teelo22 10y agoThis seems too good to be true. Do you have any benchmarking stats on latency/framerate? If this is for real, then I expect some serious changes in the games industry!
- boxerbk 10y agoThanks. We hope so too :). Latency without any networking will be under 10 milliseconds, so you can expect to play at 60 frames per second at 1080p with less than 10 milliseconds of latency while within your own home if you're connecting to your gaming PC there.
- ryanfs 10y agoWhich games can I play?
- boxerbk 10y agoWe always test with Overwatch, but any game works. We spent a lot of time making sure relative mouse mode and absolute mouse mode would work perfectly on the Pi.
