General: Streaming FPS games

[few]

Hey,

i have a General question.
How good is the Performance when Streaming FPS shooters like CS:GO or other competetive games. Is it REALLY playable /enjoyable and not only possible?
I do not have the chance to evaluate this on my own: however, i have to move to a new flat and definetly want to check this out.
Is Streaming via cable recommended or does WiFi do the thing?

thanks in regards

It all depends... on your environment, your hardware, etc. Nobody will be able to tell if it works for YOU. ;)

You should keep in mind, that streaming always adds latency. If you can live with that, you should be fine. If you are usually not playing below 144MHz display refresh rate because all else is "laggy", you´ll probably not be happy.

It really depends on how well your PC plays the game in the first place. If you can't get a smooth 60 FPS when not streaming, you sure won't get it when you try to stream.

Streaming adds a performace overhead which varies based on yours settings on both your game and the stream.

tried to inhome stream a few games
cs:go :not fun, the added latency really ♥♥♥♥♥ up your aim
insurgency (same engine) fun to play, no idea why but i find it easier to stream
Fallout series: totally playable
Payday 2: playable, but dont use snipers or semi auto high damage low ammo guns, also shotguns arent that good
racing games: playable, realisticish games arent that easy to play via stream though, but need for speed or the crew work fine

For anything twitchy and fast paced, go ethernet cable. I have a 802.11ac router, it can do most games fine, but the cable is still a noticable improvement. But even then, you might be frustrated playing some shooters this way.
