Settings for the 'host' computer:
Change desktop resolution to match streaming client: OFF
NVFBC: OFF -- ON can cause frame pacing issues!
Hardware encoding: ON
Prioritize network traffic: ON
Settings for games, while playing:
If possible, disable full-screen mode
Enable V-Sync
Cap FPS to 60
Steam Deck 'Remote Play' settings:
Video: Varies on game type, for fast-reaction games you may want balanced or fast. For slower paced games use 'Beautiful'. Update: Beautiful mode can overwhelm the steam deck at higher bit-rates and cause stuttering!
Varies wildly with personal preference, because you are trading visual quality for less latency or lag.
Bandwidth Limit: 40Mbps Higher than this has greatly diminishing returns in visual quality. Going higher will increase latency and hitching... going lower is only advised with very poor signal or playing over the internet. If playing over the internet, I would advice you to set this to about half your upload speed, up to 40Mbps.
Frame-rate Limit: 60 FPS.
Resolution Limit: Auto -- 1280x800, aka native
Hardware Decoding: OFF -- surprising, but hardware decode can cause frame pacing issues on the steam deck
HEVC and AV1: OFF -- these are very resource intense for the steam deck
Low Latency Networking: ON -- helps a lot, may help to turn OFF if playing over the internet
Steam Deck: 'Performance Panel' settings
Refresh Rate: 60
Disable Frame Limit (aids frame pacing)
Scaling Mode: Integer
Scaling Filter: Pixel
WIFI Setup Tips:
2.4Ghz or 5Ghz? WIFI Channels, and 5Ghz vs 2.4Ghz can have wildly different performance . Neighboring WIFI signals and your proximity to the router both affect which one might work better. Try every option! Typically, 5Ghz will work better if the signal is strong... but will perform poorly with a weak signal. If you're capable of it, find the clearest channel to use or set the channel to 'auto' and then reboot the router if the signal is currently poor.
Huge benefit: Set your WIFI router to use 'long preamble'. This drastically reduced hitching and drop-outs for me! -- sometimes listed as turning OFF 'short preamble'
Enable WMM WIFI mode! -- no one should have this off in 2024 except crazy edge cases
