I have a gaming pc with a 4090 in the other room. I never really stream to the deck, but I’m wondering if that’s how I should be playing the games all the time?
Would it make a big difference with the 90hz OLED steam deck?

I live in a small studio apartment with 2 Amazon Eero mesh routers at a 500mbps download speed.
Streaming with Moonlight off my 3060ti desktop is absolutely incredible. I cannot perceive any latency and only have to deal with very rare hitches. I tested RDR2, Control, and FO76 over the weekend with this setup and I’m shocked at how well it works. The games run at 90fps/high settings with 1440p downscaled to 720p on the Deck. Looks and runs beautiful, especially for RDR2.
The input latency improvements due to the new OLED display are a massive improvement over the LCD and this translates very well for streaming.
I also got Moonlight to talk to Playnite so I can launch Playnite from my Deck and have every single installed game on my desktop PC from any storefront ready to stream within 15 seconds. It also works for streaming emulated games.
My 2 cents, if your internet is good and you are using the Deck at home there is absolutely no reason to not play pretty much everything streamed.
Minor correction: if your intranet is good. Your internet speeds don’t mean anything other than for downloading the games.
Poor networking knowledge here. I have the tplink ax3000 mesh system set up as APs. Is this good enough intranet lol
I’m actually only very surface level knowledgeable with networking. I will say that you have a Wifi 6 router so I’d be surprised if it wasn’t pretty decent.
If you are waiting on a Deck, try the Steam Link app on your phone and just see how it is from PC. If it works great for the phone, bet it works great for the deck!
