What ever happened to the portable Nvidia Shield? That seemed like such a cool idea; a flip top portable device that you could play your PC games on through your PC.
Also, Steam Link or Nvidia Shield?
Moonlight or Rainway? Will Rainway ever come to the Switch?
What router do you use?

The latest was a Shield Tablet, I think. They still have the controller design, it's just no longer tethered to the screen.
I would kill for a switch with the sheilds form factor.
How did they think this was practical? Having two separate objects defeats the purpose of portability. I can't play while walking around the house.
Also you're wrong, it's discontinued. The only Shield currently active is the set top box.
This picture is simultaneously aesthetically pleasing and aggravating like it's perfect and screen is flush with the controller but the joysticks in the way pressing up against the screen makes thinking about closing this hurt
user the only options for this sort of thing at this point in time are the GPD Win 1, GPD Win 2, or the Pyra.
They had a hand in the original XBox. Guess they really wanted something similar in controller design.
They don't have that controller design anymore, now it's one that looks like a weird angular 360 controller with PS4 stick placement. I have one and the most recent Shield tablet, and they're both quite nice for what they are. (Especially the tablet, which I didn't even buy for gaming, it was just the best value for money.)
Is this the best set top box?
Nvidia Shield is a great device overall, I use mine not only for gaming, but also for plex and it does both better than my old core i5 laptop with a geforce 650m.
Don't fall for the hdr gaming meme tho, nothing worth mention supports that, at most you'll be playing games at 4k, some at 1080p cause the support is not 100%.
If you want ease of setup the link is better, and much, much cheaper.
Also can't say much for Rainway, but Moonlight is utter trash.
I can't believe the shield never took off, look at all those green triangles, the Switch doesn't have that.
My Shield tv is unironically one of my favorite tech purchases I've made.
It's such a nice emulation and streaming machine.
Why don't more companies make streaming tech? Hardly any are doing it.
I wish they'd make a new Shield portable, but I'm sure now that they have Nintendo Switch they'd rather sell Nintendo users GeForce Experience streaming this fall at 9.99 a month than come out with new hardware.
I've got one I bought on ebay for 160, and it's very comfy, desu. Really solid build quality, dropped it and the floor almost cracked with how heavy the fucking thing is, but it didn't damage. The only real complaint is that the triggers are pretty loud, but besides that it's an incredible gaming device. Streaming is pretty good, but better with moonlight, I've played hours of pc games on the thing and most emulators immediately recognize the pad otherwise you can map it easily. Def one of the best portable vidya devices ever, but when it came out, it was way too expensive for what it was, so I understand why it tanked. There was a prototype model for the shield 2 found in a Canadian pawn shop with a bigger screen and the new shield buttons, possibly 1080p res.
Anyone tried Rainway? I heard it only works with browsers, including the built in Switch browser.
Moonlight.
the very first thing i thought of
I might sell mine for 150 since i dont use it anymore. I had fun but i just dont have much time anymore.
How can one router be so based?
I have these as well. They are awesome and totally worth the brain cancer.
Are you actually retarded enough to believe Wi-Fi gives you cancer?
You better not go to any public places like shopping centers then, wi-fi signals run everywhere.
This remote play kind of feature was never good at all. For it to work decently, you'd need to set up a direct 5GHz connection between the devide and the PC to reduce the latency caused by the router, and even then the image would still come compressed with lower quality.
I accept the price of the modern interconnected world is all. I'm a man of science and a man who will compromise: justproveit.net
tl;dr. Wi-fi won't give you cancer unless you put your head right next to your router for hours, just like a microwave.
Why does 99% of gayming hardware look like shitty fake alien technology?
That thing looks ugly as fuck and so do all graphics cards, gaming pcs/laptops, etc. It confirms for me that there is inherently something wrong with being a video game consumer.
Refer to I just benchmarked Steam Link in a 2 story house with the PC on the upper floor and got virtually 0 input lag. At worse, streaming to the bottom floor on the other side of the house had maybe 1/5 a second lag.
Image quality was fine all the way too. 1080p/60fps really isn't that demanding, and you were replying to someone posting the Shield Portable, which is 720p.
Also I have a 4 zone set for my home for max coverage. And yeah prolonged direct contact is the biggest fear. Speakerphone on the cellphone for me.
