Game streaming always makes me a little sad at what we could've had if latency was as much a priority for ISPs as bandwidth. It's always just bad enough for a noticeably sub-optimal experience.

- Dylan16807 4y agoThey can avoid bufferbloat and they can use equipment on the last mile that doesn't add 20-30+ milliseconds of latency. Those are big problems on many ISPs. Some of that is configuration, some of that is equipment, often you could instantly solve the problem with fiber.
- wolrah 4y agoI think the point is this is a server for nVidia Gamestream, which is designed to be a local streaming solution between your PC and a nVidia Shield device connected to your TV. Your ISP has nothing to do with the intended use of this software. I think it can be used over the internet, but that's not the normal use case.
