That is the main advantage of streaming. It doesn't matter how much eye candy the game being streamed has... it can be on low settings or 5 steps above ultra... the streaming requirements are the same.
Its like saying a AAA hollywoo movie costs Netflix more bandwidth over a B grade bollywoo film.
I guess I didn't word my post right.
Yes the streaming requirements will be the same no matter the in game settings.
What i was talking about was the quality of the stream. Like if you compare a Blu Ray to a Netflix stream, on a good screen there is a big difference, but the average person won't really notice on a good connection.
To achieve the same quality as local gaming, you need to capture the raw uncompressed stream going to the monitor.
And no matter the settings used in game, the stream will consume the same of bandwidth i believe.
DP 1.0 has like 8Gbit+ bandwidth, and no one has access to a internet connection of this speed (less than 1%).
And when someone else at the house wants to play a game, you need double that....
And never mind 1440p and 4k 144Hz........
streaming games will never look as good as local games....... unless we have 100+ Gbit connections with 1ms ping times........
