If you want this service to work well at a high frame rate, a good resolution and most importantly low latency you will need a high upload and download speed for you internet, it may be necessary to use a wired connection. If you’ve been living under a rock for the past few years this is Nvidia’s game streaming service where the video is not rendered on your device but on a server somewhere else. Nvidia Grid is also supported on this device. Android TV also allows you to run a lot of android games, but not all.
The OS is designed to be run on a TV and viewed from further away. The Nvidia Shield Android TV is a much more comprehensive device. The Shield is running Google’s new Android TV operating system.
There is actually noting else I can say about the software. The Steam link is designed to be a simple device that is just plug and play. This thing just looks great in my opinion, I think I can go as far to call it art. Equally like the Steam link this device supports 802.11AC but also have a gigabit ethernet port in comparison to just 100Mb/s even though that is enough for what the device is designed for. Nvidia are claiming 4K playback at 60FPS and 4K capture at 30FPS, that statistic on its own would make me want to buy it. The shield device will be powered by a Tegra X1 processor with 3GB of ram. Nvidia on the other hand have released the full specifications of their device. The case is made from plastic and it is tiny, it’s size has been compared to a portable hard drive. If you do not have a 802.11AC router I would recommend using a wired connection because you may experience some lag because 802.11N’s throughput is much less than AC. Valve have released very little information about its new device apart from being able to support steaming of at 1080p at 60FPS, it also has 100 Mb/s not gigabit ethernet and wireless 802.11AC. Hardware Source: goo.gl/193s5y%5B/caption%5Dĭo not confuse this with a steam machine/box, this is very different. The Nvidia Shield Android TV has also got the functionality for streaming your PC game to the device but it can do slightly more, as it is running Android Tv it will be able to run android apps and stream other media to your TV using Plex. The steam link is designed to be a small box that you connect to your TV and all it will do is steam your computers game to the TV using Steam Big Picture. These two products are very similar and very different in their own right. Valve recently allowed their Steam link to be pre ordered and we think we should compare the Steam Link to Nvidia’s Shield Android Tv
