[Twenko]

Hey, what's up ?

Anyone can give me a list of compatibles games on steam link ?

All games that run through steam. If you want to play a non steam game with it just add that to steam and play it through steam.

Good ! Just a question, does latence exist ? i have a big connection 20M and processoir i7

With hardware encoding enabled, display latency is about 14 ms from my experience (i3, 950GTX). I read somewhere latency values of 9ms, maybe on a bit beefier gaming rig. On my setup, software encoding would add some 40ms or more. (Just in case, since you mention 20M: 100MBit home network is sufficient, no internet connection needed)

Depends if you use it with wireless or with ethernet cable. Honestly I am too lazy to write more so just watch this really well done review that talk about all ascpects of the steamlink:

Harware enconding ? Where i can launch dat ? Its with steamlink ?

14ms in online ?
And no lag in solo ?

Hardware encoding and decoding should be active both in the Steam host PC and Steam Link streaming options, respectively.
Since you ask about online: in case of online gaming, I guess you will have to add two delays:

• The in-home streaming lag coming into play since compressing and decoding a video stream takes some time -> this is the 14 ms lag I talked about
  
• The lag related to data transfer over your internet connection you would experience with your specific game when sitting directly in front of your PC.

Thank's for information. Well, when i'm play its lagging... god why i buy this thing, i cant play fps in solo ?

Did you check the performance information displayed by the Steam Link (activated via options)? You should press F6 or Start+Y for extended info and then have a look a the numbers. "Display Delay" should be around 14 ms, otherwise, I guess your are stuck with software encoding, taking much more time.

What is the GPU you are running on? Does Steam support hardware encoding on you specific GPU? If you are on nVidia from 600er series onwards, it should work, even better though on a fairly recent Maxwell GPU. You may have to switch "ShadowPlay" included in the GeforceExperience package on and off once, in order to enable hardware encoding (there should then be some line with "encoder: ... NVFBC ...." in the steam link performance overlay).

Generally speaking, it would seem that the added 14 ms delay (about 1 frame) should only be perceivable by some small part of the fps players population. Keep in mind though that you TV by itself might add some 20 ms to 40 ms display lag even if switched to "game mode", and some 50-100 ms (depending on the manufacturer) in regular display modes. I read somewhere that most people would not notice a total lag <40 ms, so with game mode + hardware encoding, you should be fine.

Thank's for your answer i receive soon the steam link, can i add u on this if i have a problem ?

Probably easier to get a list of games that don't work on the link. In my experience I haven't had a game literally not work, most games work butter smooth and a hand full have slight audio issues but the game itself is still playable

nba2k17 didn't work for me :(
