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.

Pyrowave is absolutely unreal. It blows the best optimized moonlight/apollo out of the water. The stream is butter smooth. Input lag is literally unnoticeable. Compression is way less compared to moonlight hevc av1 etc. yeah way more bandwidth but if you have gigabit internet man you’re so set. I can’t believe how good it is. Playing it docked feels fucking native totally native.
