Can you stream games with AMD card to Nvidia Sheild?

[Helen Barber]

I know having a nvidia card you can stream games easily from PC, wondering if there is an app on my shield pro that does the same with a AMD card?

Thanks

Yes, there is a Steam Link app, which works almost as well as Gamestream, however it doesn't support HDR

Ahhhh great thanks!

No problem - I've been doing this for a couple of years, first with a 5700xt and now a 6800

Another alternative app for the Shield is Parsec, I prefer that over Steam Link, but give it a go yourself and see what you prefer. Parsec offered more options on improving the streaming quality/latency hence why I stuck with that.

It also depends what controller you have - I believe the steam link app has better support for 3rd party controllers due to the native steam drivers.
