是否可以将图形处理卸载到网络上的另一台计算机上

Question

我主要在我的笔记本电脑上玩视频游戏，因为我可以在家里的任何地方使用它，但它没有显卡。

我想知道的是我能否将图形处理从我的笔记本电脑卸载到同一网络上的台式计算机。我需要在桌面上安装显卡吗？

Answer 1

是的，这是可能的，是的，您需要在桌面上安装图形卡。

这可以使用Steam 家庭流式传输来完成。

基本上，游戏是在台式电脑上玩的，使用显卡硬件视频编码器录制，通过网络传输，然后在笔记本电脑上玩。

这确实使您在玩游戏时桌面“越界”，因为它是真正在玩游戏的机器。在您玩游戏期间，没有其他人能够使用该机器。

The latency is bearable but depends on your network. WiFi latency will be slightly worse than a wired Ethernet connection, but most games will still be playable. From experience latency on a wired connection was somewhere around 40 milliseconds. Not perfect for twitch or rapid action games, but playable for most games.

The low latency is only really possible because of the hardware video encoder, without it the latency would be much worse.

Nvidia Game Streaming is an alternative option. It works by the same principle. You play the game on the PC and stream the output to another device. It has an Android client called "moonlight".

The reason why it is handled the way it is above is because it requires less game developer support than any other method. You can simply set up your display output to be recorded and stream it to another machine.

To have just the "work" done on a remote machine would require a lot of special programming and network bandwidth to tranfert maps and textures to a "rendering computer. It is a lot of pain for very little gain compared to the easy method of "playing" the game and streaming it.
