Recommendations for Moonlight Streaming Box Pls

[bonn4lolly]

Apologies if this is in the wrong place – didn’t really fit into a category.

I’m wanting to stream PC games to my TV downstairs (via powerline adapters). I’m using Moonlight, which utilises my NVidia card in the same way as the Nvidia Shield.

However, I have Moonlight installed on my Amazon Fire TV (2nd Gen) which is too laggy to use (around 70ms) – apparently due to an issue with the processor in the Fire TV.

SO… my question is does anyone know of a cheap Android Box that can use Moonlight with minimal lag? I don’t want to spend much as I’ve already forked out for Fire TV, and don’t mind getting one from China. It’s nigh impossible to get info on how they perform unless someone’s had one to feedback on.

Thanks in advance

Have you looked into Steamlink :

Yes, sorry I should have said. Seems much poorer quality (not taking advantage of nvidia encoding) & no surround sound last I heard.

I ran moonlight from a capable gaming rig (i7/980Ti/32Gb) to a fairly decent AMD system with wired gigabit and the lag was noticeable there as well, to the point of making pretty much everything unplayable.

I did testing with with moonlight for using my Nexus 5 in a VR headset, apparently the snapdragon 800 chipset was one of the best for low latency - it gave around 15ms, compared to aroudn 30ms in the OnePlusX which used a snapdragon 801...for reference. Try and look for devices released in 2013 that would have used the snapdragon 800 as a starting point.

Here's some more info:
