Weird question probably but here goes :

I’m discovering the joy of having a Dock, it’s great!

But what’s even better is I can just get my PC to stream more powerful games to my Deck (that the Deck would otherwise struggle with)

It works flawlessly (zero input delay, or rather not noticeable), better than Steam Link / Remote Play (I get input delay on this), and I haven’t tried Moonlight

It’s also so much more convenient than moving my PC to the living room (where the TV is) and plugging it there!

So I’m like wow Order of the Sinking Star is awesome, but what if I played games that my Deck sometimes has trouble with? Like I could run Witcher 3 Remastered with some better settings!

So I guess I’m not asking for great Steam Deck games, it’s more like, what are games that my PC could run that feel great on controller, that I would stream to my Docked Deck?

Thanks!!

    I don’t think anyone has mentioned this but HDMI is just Cat-6 with a fancy hat. You can run cat-6 cabling through your attic, down the walls, etc., as if you were setting up a standard Ethernet run. Then, slap some rj-45 to hdmi adapters on each, and voila! Or you could just put proper hdmi heads on the cable ends and skip the adapters.

    EDIT: Amazon product link with diagrams.

      Hdmi is not like cat 6. Hdmi 2.2 has bandwidth of like 96Gb/s. Youre not going to be transmistting raw video and audio over cat cable. (You might get hdmi 1.4 over it)

      Never thought that’s possible (well I’m not well versed in cables and electricity soooo), thank you very much for the tip!
