The only gaming I do on my M1 Mac is via Steam streaming from my PC.
I don’t really expect to change this, the setup works well for me - my gaming PC is connected to a TV and has a much higher TDP and more fans than my Mac (which has none, and will never have any.) The only games I stream/play on my Mac are those that aren’t convenient on a TV. (e.g. Civilization.)
It costs somewhat more to have two devices, but not as much more as one might expect, since RAM/SSD space/(maybe GPU?) are all much cheaper in a DIY desktop than in a Mac, so my Mac doesn’t need to be specced for games.

- Marsymars 4y ago“Improving the performance” in an additive way rather than just entirely offloading the performance would probably be murderously difficult. It would be like SLI/Crossfire, but over wifi rather than a PCI Express bus.
- dagmx 4y agoEdge compute is ridiculously difficult, especially given how variable networking can be. Many game routines aren’t able to be efficiently asynchronous either.
