Aren’t gamers primarily concerned with latency rather than speed?
- TheAdamAndChe 6y agoThey said game streaming, which makes me think s/he's talking about things like Twitch and Mixer, livestreaming platforms that do depend on throughput for high quality video.
- TheSpiceIsLife 6y agoSorry, yes, I see that now.
- thejynxed 6y agoWell, if you use things like nVidia Shield for remote streaming you want both.
- govg 6y agoBoth latency and bandwidth affect gaming. Latency is important to ensure that there isn't too much lag between you moving a controller stick and your character moving, and not as important for slower games which can handle this well. Bandwidth is important because it determines the resolution and quality you can stream at, so higher bandwidths would enable full HD or 4K gaming.
