![]() I’m going to end up streaming our gaming tomorrow night (probably wreckfest and chivalry).Īnd video games (like poker or baking cakes) isn’t a difficult activity filled with arcane skills ISTM that damn near anyone can do it. It’s really smooth to see what your friends are doing and watch them if you want. It also doesn’t display the steam overlay within the broadcast, which is nice, so I don’t have to worry about whether I was reading some Larry the Cable Guy / Walking Dead crossover slash fiction when someone was watching me. It also gives you a live update of who is watching you, and creates a steam chat room for anyone watching you to talk to you, and for you to talk to them. My limited impression is that it’s better than twitch. But even then it does so gracefully - it doesn’t stutter or lag, it just drops from 30 fps to a lower rate. In the future they may increase the maximum stream bandwidth, but you can definitely max it out with 1080p with games that are hard to compress (lots of changing elements on the screen constantly). So at busy scenes in FC3 at 1080p broadcast, it would drop to about 20 fps, trying to keep it within that bandwidth, but when I set it down to 720p broadcasting it would broadcast 30 fps smoothly. The maximum bandwidth you can set for it is 3500kbps, and if it hits that bandwidth, it starts lowering the frame rate. The performance hit is barely anything, at least with Far Cry 3 which I tested it with, so I assume it’s able to use my shadowplay hardware like twitch, otherwise I’d feel the hit more.
