Question LAN Remote Desktop

[caylerose]

Hello, I built a 2nd PC, but don't want to buy extra wires and stuff - I want to remote desktop into it and play games on it. The problem is, even using LAN on standard Remote Desktop, i get low FPS and bad quality. I know there are companies that have real REMOTE desktop PC gaming with great FPS Quality, but why can't I achieve this on my damn LAN?

2.4Hz, both PCs on wifi

It depends on the connection speed.

Gaming companies that allow for remote Desktop have utilised connection speeds/sessions for the PC's that they set up, so it's more optimised in a sense.

But let's not forget, they most likely have REALLY good upload/download rates.

It may also be dependant on your hardware, but not that much (GPU/CPU)

I'll try on 5GHz, gotta borrow a friend's wireless USB thing see what happens and ill report back

Gaming over RDP is always going to be slow, don't expect 100fps. But if you insist, try first wired Ethernet on both computers, even direct connection.

And you can always invest like $50 for quality KVM switch.

purchased a 5GHz adapter.
Both PCs now on 5GHz, no difference, still lots of lag, etc..

Okay, boys, submitted an amazon return for this 5GHz USB wifi thing.

SOLUTION:
Bought two 50ft CAT5e Cables, hooked both computers directly up to the modem/router. RDP flawless gaming 0 delays, great resolution.
