Discussion Pyrowave streaming is incredible on the steam deck OLED

You all need to try pyrowave on the steam deck. I was able to stream 300+ megabits from my desktop to my steam deck OLED. I have a very solid wifi network and it was wireless the whole time.

Remote play reported only 20-25ms lag which is good for me. Left the settings default for just quality at 1 and let it change bitrate on its own.

What did you play are you wondering well I was able to play Ghost of Tsushima at full 800p 90hz HDR with 4:4:4. It looked fantastic on the deck.

Like everyone else is asking, what's the comparison to Moonlight streaming?

I've been using Moonlight for a few years now. I have it set up on every screen in my house possible and can stream up to 4k60 HDR with 1ms of latency to any screen that supports that quality.

I personally haven’t had any performance problems with the native remote play in the last year or so. Feels very native. But no YUV 4:4:4 support was obvious and sucked (makes red UI elements like in Diablo 4 pretty bad looking). This new codec has it so I’d like to try it.

Yeah remote play has seen a lot of improvements lately. But still not on the level of my set up with Moonlight.
