Yeah you're going to experience FPS loss, & probably even experience some stutters.
#Amd link cant stream Pc#
Factor in that you're also bottlenecking from the CPU, even over ethernet to the Steam Link, plus that both your PC & the steam link has to reconfigure & downmix the signal that's being streamed to it. Even if you're in the R9 480X line, you're still dealing with a Video card that's hardware is straining itself more, pushing harder, & running hotter to display the same quality of video. Nobody wants to hear it, but it's the truth.

Therefore, ignoring the software encoding problems due to my CPU bottleneck, there definitely seems to be something wrong with the AMD hardware encoding causing the mismatch between the streamed FPS and the desktop FPS.ĪMD Card. This is most likely due to my CPU not being able to keep up which is probably understandable because it is definitely an older CPU. Increasing the streaming resolution to 900p would cause the FPS to drop more and would also cause the encoder to switch to software encoding automatically after displaying Slow Encode.Ģ) With Software Encoding with the streaming resolution also at 720p, the game on the desktop and the stream on the steam like run at the same FPS (~30 - 50 FPS) depending on the game and the intensity of the stream. If there are anymore suggestions, that'll be appreciated.ġ) With AMD Hardware encoding with the streaming resolution at 720p, the game runs on the desktop while streaming at 60 FPS at native resolution of 900p without any drops in frames (unless maybe it is really demanding) BUT the stream the Steam Link receives is only about 20 - 30 FPS max. However, I figure if maybe my CPU was better, then software encoding would have been better as parkerlreed suggested. Games are definitely playable now I guess though it's not the ideal I was hoping for. However, on AMD hardware encoding, the FPS did not really peak as high ~35 for the most. However, the FPS didn't reach the same high but was definitely improved over streaming at 1080pĮxample, I tried Distance on software encoding and was able to peak at 60 FPS (especially in menu's and when staying constant on the track) but dipped to 30 FPS when driving. Leaving the resolution the same and switching to AMD hardware encoding, the encoder did not switch to software encoding at any point during gameplay. Sadly, it wasn't enough to push it to 60 FPS constantly but I was able to at least get a pretty much constant 30 FPS.

I enabled software encoding and dropped the resolution down to 720p on beautiful preset and I was able to improve the framerate. I pretty much followed both of you with respect to the advice.

Feel free to post here or message me directly. If any one needs any assistance, I can try my best. Here is a good summary of what I did and it worked for me and has stuck ever since.
#Amd link cant stream update#
I have seemed to fixed this problem a while now (about a week after posting my previous update) but I forgot to update this post. This is what I've found after a bit of testing. I will do my best to provide any further information required.ĮDIT: I have tried using BETA and Public firmware for Steam and the Steam Link This can be seen in the logs below:īorderlands 1 + The Evil Within (streaming logs): Here are some screenshots while streaming the game onto the TV:īorderlands 1 + The Evil Within (when streaming): Īlso, the game would start by using AMD’s AMF H264 and switch to software encoder when the latency time begins going up (>100ms). However, when I connect with the Steam Link, the streamed video is somewhere between 15 – 30FPS while the actual game is still working at ~60FPS on the desktop as seen by the FRAPS overlay. When I am not streaming, games like Borderlands, The Evil Within, Mafia II, and Distance (to name a few), manage to get 60fps at 900p which is the native resolution of my desktop monitor as seen in the following screenshots:īorderlands 1 + The Evil Within (when not streaming): Here are the settings I am currently using for streaming: The steam link wired to the router via CAT5e cable. Motherboard: Asrock N68-VS3-FX (BIOS Updated) GPU: AMD R9 270X (Sapphire version) - Radeon Software Version 16.12.1 My computer specs are a bit dated but manage very well with the games I play. I received my Steam Link about 4 days ago and I've been getting terrible performance when streaming.
