The higher bandwidth stream, the higher picture quality but since we're doing it all in real time that extra data adds on encode/decode time ie increasing latency. In regular networking you would be right but for game streaming the bandwidth is mostly there as a quality parameter.

There should not be any reason why my speed is capped like this. It is too slow for most of my games, which basically makes it unusable. Originally posted by WrathOfSammy:The issue is not the visual quality. Sure you can have a 200mbps satellite connection, but the latency could be 5 seconds. Satellite communcations are a good example of this.

Sure I could have a giant 1 ft wide hose (lots of bandwidth) but the latency is gonna suck because the molasses takes a LONG time to travel from the faucet to the end of the hose (terrible latency) If the hose is just regular water, the bandwidth might not be great (size of the hose) but the latency is good (when i turn on the faucet water comes out the other end fast)īut say that faucet had molasses coming out.

Latency - how long it takes from when you turn on the faucet to when the water comes out the other end Latency - How long it takes for something from point A to reach point Bīandwidth - how much water comes out the other end Note Latency and Bandwiddth are 2 entirely different things
