Advanced GameStream Features

In SHIELD Hub under “SETTINGS” you can access some of the advanced features available to fine tune your GameStream experience. To access these features, make sure you already have a PC connected. In the advanced settings menu, you can manually adjust streaming bit rates, frame rates and elect not to apply Optimal Settings for each game in your streaming list.  This provides more control to the user to fine tune your streaming experience.

  1. Open SHIELD Hub and navigate to the settings menus in the lower left hand corner.

  2. Once in the settings menu, you can access the GameStream-ready PCs menu.

  3. Here you can see all of the different PCs you have connected to your SHIELD and their current status. Select accessory settings .

  4. In the accessory settings menu you can select “Quality” to manually change the bitrate at which your stream is delivered both from a Wi-Fi connection and from a wired Ethernet connection. You can also change the target frame rate that the SHIELD will deliver. This provides a lot of flexibility to the power user in how they stream.

  5. Also in the accessory settings menu is the "Optimize games" menu where you can manually disable Optimal Settings for a particular game. This allows the user to disable the automatic settings we apply to allow you to tailor specific in-game settings for each game. You can also globally disable or enable Optimal Settings for a particular PC that you have connected to your SHIELD.
