You know what frustrates me the most about game streaming... It would be perfect for so many styles of games. Puzzle games, strategy RPGs, management games like SimCity or City Skylines and I'm sure a whole bunch of others. But no, all the advertising and marketing says to play first person shooters and other games that require twitch reflexes. It's like the marketing people don't understand the technology and what it's actually good for. Oh wait..

Dawid: “It looks like a high-tech sperm to me…” Me: (Disappointed in my low tech sperm 😢)

It makes me happy when the sponsor is Linode. All the other ones just don't compare.

I recently built a 12400f and 3060 with 32gb ddr5 4800 and now I'm depressed because I could have saved $1500 and got a gaming chromecast instead.

A lot of the time when YTers say they're experiencing artifacting, it can be hard for the viewer to detect because there's a bit of a "You had to be there to really experience it" element. Not in this video! Lol

I was one of the "lucky" ones that got one of their suped up Chrome casts for free when I bought Cyberpunk as part of their roll out as a gaming platform. I even got the game pad. All of it has sat in a drawer. But thanks to you I may, in fact, bring it back out of its dark cave, and attempt to play something on it...

Everyone: Pc, Console, Samsung fridge Dawid: CHROMECAST GAMER!!

Everyone: Chromecast Dawid: GOOGLE SP*RM

Dawid - making Linode and Vileda household names since 2017. Oh, and making tech videos or something as well I guess.

I've been using that exact model of mouse for over 2 years. I had a problem with the charge cable after 6 months, and even though I bought a refurbished unit they posted me a replacement from Hong Kong, I got it 3 working days later in the UK. Good customer service.

I love the aspect ratio you guys upload videos in. I wish everyone did it like that!

Great vid. Ive binged a few now. I use my Chromecast to play some N64 games on occasion. Not perfect but for zero cost and ease, I enjoy it.

If you could find a USB hub with Ethernet and power passthrough you could reduce the keyboard and mouse input lag by going wired.

depending on the gaming setup and the game your playing casting has some advantages. I use it for casting VR games when I have friends over so everyone sees what the player sees. Also works for Lan parties but it's not the best as a primary monitor.

We can still go to dongle-town sounds like an addition to the list of worst euphemisms ever - on the ball as ever Dawid :D

We're moving from our apartment next door to Linode's HQ next week. I'll walk by and give them one last "LINOOOOOOODE" for you.

The sarcasm on the "extensive settings" made me crack hard here in the library. I'm mad.

The advertisements are entertaining as is. but when you do lanode you go all out my friend bravo!

The Linode ad by Dawid is the only one on YT that I watch entirely ! 😁😁 About the Chromecast gaming, hen you think the "PC" (ie the Chromecast) cost no more than the controller, it's pretty cheap !

I would rather have slenderman and dracula play with my soul than me playing on this chromecast

Would be cool to see how Parsec works with that, latency going to another machine in the house hooked up over gigabit should be pretty low in theory

Hello Dawid I wanna say that you are a wonderful creator and your videos are both fun and useful. You have inspired me to create my very own tech channel and I will soon be able to properly upload. Thx a lot and keep the work!

Absolute godsend, my gaming pc just crapped itself and the repairs are possibly taking a month, realising I can emulate on my chromecast will be a fun project to knock out the month!

Was hoping you would try xbox's remote play with the Chromecast casting to a TV to see how playable it was. Still atleast shows I can do some other things with my Chromecast if need be.

I’ve been playing around with streaming games a fair bit for the last few years (predominantly out of curiosity) using a variety of different set ups and one of the things that’s consistently stood out for me is how wildly different input lag can be across different devices. Using my XBox controller to play GeForce Now and GamePass on my iPad Pro or Pixel has always produced an uncomfortable amount of lag, but when I’m on my Mac there’s barely any which makes single player games a perfectly comfortable experience. Using a wired controller basically seems to eliminate lag so I’m convinced the lag is more an issue with Bluetooth devices than with streaming in general. One of the best experiences though, and I’d love for Dawid to try this out, is using a Stadia controller. Yes, you’re stuck playing the limited catalogue on Stadia, but as a proof of concept on how streaming could work it’s seemed pretty much flawless. Of course it’s best on a wired connection, but I’d argue that it even seems to improve wireless connections, I think because the Stadia controller is using Wi-Fi to directly connect to the data centres, so the device isn’t having to pass inputs through the same signal that it’s receiving the game stream over.

Hey Dawid. Ever thought about checking out the pre-builds from New Egg. You probably have already, but if not you can check out some pretty good PCs there.

When you connected it to your TV it looks like a dangly hairy ball 😂😂

Good to see Linooooode back

Just found out there are powered USB c hubs that you can use with that chrome cast, giving you power and ethernet along usb port for keyboard and mice. Wonder how that would work like

Your sense of humour is literally at least half the reason I keep coming back to your videos. If KZfaq ever gets old for you I think a career in comedy is a definite possibility.

I've pushed the Chromecast with Google TV to it's limits. It can run emulators, the GTA mobile ports, with Sentio it can function like a desktop PC. I used parsec to cloud game from my desktop rig and rented a cloud gaming PC that I could access from it. Only thing is I couldn't ADB to it, which is unfortunate because it would be cool to pull it up on my desktop.

What I do is stream from my 3080ti pc to my chromecast using moonlight, if you have a good wifi connection you can get 1080p 60 with very low latency and great quality. I usually use this to play emulation games from cemu and similar.

Try to stream steam games from pc to the chromecast, with both connect with Ethernet, would be interesting to see if it is a possible way to play pc games on a tv on a different room

Using the chrome cast with steam link is amazing

Should do an episode on the game streaming apps, stadia, Luna, GeForce in classic Dawid style using something unconventional like a students Chromecast laptop.

Hey awesome video! Just a suggestion but it seems very desaturated? Almost like it was shot raw and not color corrected. If that intentional then disregard! Love the context, thank you.

When nobody asks for it dawid delivers it 😂😂

I still have the old chrome cast were you can only cast your screen to the television lol

You get a big thumbs up because Linode sponsored this video, and hey the content was pretty good too. Keep up the great work. Love it when Linode sponsors the videos. Llllliiiiinnnnnnoooooooooooooooddddddeeeee!

Would love to see a PC-build out of old notebook parts. Have an old i5-3210m at Home and am looking forward to recycle it somehow :-D

Recommended videos: All dawid

White is a great way to go, as you can find it easier and the dirt will show so you can easily clean it!

“Optimus Prime’s excretion”! Lmaoooo

Hmm, I have the Chromecast TV dongle and have yet to try G-Force Now. That might be interesting. I have used it to play one of the new Tomb Raiders in the PC client and had a good experience aiming at enemies.

Hi Dawid, might have been interesting to have tried Moonlight to stream from a local Nvidia powered PC to see what the lag is like doing it that way.

that LINODE ad is so therapeutic

Do you think that one of the reasons for some of the input of was the Bluetooth functionality? What if you connected wired peripherals through a usb c dongle?

1:21 minus the storage.. (I think lmao) this more powerful than my first pc XD

I really enjoyed this video. It was very fun to watch when you can game on Google Chrome cast imagine taking it to a hotel 😅

Thr chromecast probably dosent support it but you should try geting a usb c to pcie adapter and hook up a gpu to the chromecast

My girlfriend and I cheered and clapped when we saw linode as the sponsor. What a win

you and linus need to do a video together would be 1 of the best ever if its a mix of both ur styles

This guy makes the best jokes I've ever seen from a tech channel. Dawid is too damn funny.

"Optimus prime excretion" killed me!

THIS WAS AWESOME DAWID! Now see if cyberpunk will run on my toaster!

petition to call all Linode sponsored videos "Linodeos"

please get one of those wireless hdmi things connect the chromecast to it then run the chrome cast off a usb battery bank use wireless mouse and keyboard so you can kinda just put the chromecast almost anywhere in a room the input latency will be afull though

please make an "ultimate-low-profile gaming pc build" :)

Hows the lag on the newer ones? I have an older one(1st gen) and theres multiple seconds of lag.

nice concise and helpful video. Been trying to use steamlink app with spermcast but i see now I need the ethernet adapter thanks man!

I use this with moonlight to do in home streaming. It works very well WITH ETHERNET.

Another banger king

lol he gave away all his personal info and his first born child to use something brilliantly terrible

if u love linode so much please do some merch collab 😍

Maybe you can make a video about steams image upsacling software. It's called lossless image upsacling And costs about 4 euros. Would be pretty interesting

you should probably calibrate the monitor color settings a bit better than what they are right now

Best channel on YT by far.

You should try Steam's in-home streaming, work great on my setup

Never had a issue with input lag on the shield geforce now. I wonder how far he is from the server etc

I set one up as a emulation station complete with multiple wireless controllers in my gaming bar. I did a video on it too if you haven't seen it :)

hey dawid! i recently got a job and im so exited to get a gpu 20$ off msrp!!! i was planning on the rx 6600, same model as you actually, but i decided on a 6600xt for 400$ instead, great video mate!

Nice! I ordered the first chrome cast the day it came out like 9years ago. I loved it till I got a roku.

Other people: watch my unboxing on my superflat white surface Dawid: 09:34 watch me do it on my plant

6:14 Oh hell yea that inwin case, can we expect a review on that? I've built on it a few times now and think its a bit of a downgrade compared to the Chopin option they were selling before (both on the quality of the materials and the thermal design), but at the $80 mark and with a psu its passable for office machines which is obvs their intended market lol

Were you streaming the games from a gaming PC or from "the cloud"? If it's from a gaming PC and the PC isn't too far away, try connecting the controller/keyboard/mouse directly to the PC using Bluetooth, rather than to the Chromecast. It can help reduce the input lag.

i love linode sponsored videos

When I hit rock bottom, I was crushing man's skull like sparrow's egg between my thighs. -Zangief

Just for the hell of it, you should get the current version of the Apple TV 4K and do these tests on it.

Is it possible to connect wired peripherals to a chromecast with a usb-c hub?

Back when they did it, I bought the chromecast-stadia controller combo (the black chromecast, version before the white fancier new one), and used stadia via it. It wasn't as cool gaming compared to like playing the real game on real hardware. But the gameplay of like borderlands 3 back then was perfectly fine; really wasn't any input lag that noticed then. (cyberpunk too, but that's not saying much as yeah it can be a good looking game with thousands of dollars of hardware but it still is a meh game in the end) But that's not really "playing on chromecast" as it was a combo they specifically made and guess was "playing on stadia" as it was built and sold for that idea. As well I guess that was its purpose when they sold as a "stadia package" :).

hey Dawid have you tried one of those 100-in-one USB-C dongles with USB-A ports and ethernet and display out and power delivery in?

What screen would you recommend that is easy on the eyes ('healthy') but still budget friendly ?

Is there a reason why you didn't have local in-home PC game streaming using Steam Link, Moonlight, or Parsec? It would've been cool to see the latency and what not.

While watching this video i cant help but look at my own chromecast with google tv on the back of my tv

bruh that look u gave at 7 seconds in is the whole reason im here

LINODE MAKES THEIR RETURN, HAHAHAAA. Seriously, Linode is synonymous with the channel at this point.

Why didn't you connect wired to the usb hub the gamepad?

Are you able to make a review on the IdeaCentre Gaming 5i?

I suspect the GeForce Now experience can vary wildly based on your distance to the nearing GeForce Now servers.

I tried using Steam Link the other day to play some Hitman 2 on my Chromecast Ultra and it was so bad. Even with my PC connected to the router via ethernet and the chromecast connected via 5G. The screen on my computer was reacting right away but the delay on the tv was just too much to be playable. Still infinitely better than Stadia, though.

I wonder if the mouse and keyboard performed worse than the gamepad because using two wireless devices put more load on the system.

yay! linode is back!

You should try opening it up and give it a heatsync or ventilation or both, and then… overclock?

I wonder what FPS you would get trying to run Escape from Tarkov on it KEKW

Was gifted a Google Stadia set but only to find out I cant use it because theres no Stadia servers where I live. Sucks because its just sitting in my drawer with the hope that it will get more outside support but sadly unlikely..

What monitor do you use if you don’t mind me asking

I'm going to need more information. How or why does Linode put a smile on my keister? Also, do I want a smile there?

Dawid when you test low end stuff I think you should try to test Valorant as one of your benchmarks since it’s a very low demanding game

The chromecast ultras power brick actually has an ethernet port built in

could you use a usb-c hub, with ethernet and usb ports, and get wired internet and wired keyboard and mouse?
