I gotta say Valve is really on fire with the client and host updates for the Steam Link. I've had the Link for two weeks, it has received three updates (including the first out of the box update) and it now works much better than it did two weeks ago. I've been playing mostly Dirt 3 and Space Marine. Night and day difference from what things looked like two weeks ago compared to now.
With Dirt 3, the Nvidia hardware encoder looked *terrible* and would still drop frames. I couldn't run on Beautiful Nvidia encoding without it turning into a mess, so I was using Software encoding which looked better but appeared to add some frame delay (~30ms total). Game runs fine now at 1080P/60 FPS with no dropped frames, Nvidia encoder, ~20 to 24ms delay)
For Space Marine, the game ran like garbage with 1080P streaming and I had to switch the host to run the game at 720P. I forgot what I was using to encode it at the time. Space Marine also runs fine now at 1080P/~60 FPS with no dropped frames, Nvidia encoder, ~20 to 24ms delay)
And they already fixed an issue I had with the XBox 360 Controller. I've completely run out of shit to complain about in two weeks of Link ownership
