Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
But I believe power draw is a good lead you gave me! Looking at the performance overlay the GPU never reports more than 10w, but it’s rated for 15-45w if I’m reading the specs right. Going to try and tweak that later somehow.

Nothing with the name ”cap” inside the /sys/class/hwmon tree I’m afraid

For good measure I did a rebase on stable-40, same results

Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
Definitely feels like something is off when this GPU isn't able to render a decoded 4k@120hz video stream.

Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
Dropping from 150mbps to 20mbps changes nothing, which makes sense as decoding is keeping up while rendering isn’t.

Gonna go check GPU usage when steaming under Windows now.

Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
My guess is back pressure from rendering not keeping up leading to network packets not being consumed quick enough. Very curious on why this issue only surface on Linux and not on Windows, but that might be a question for the Moonlight folks. Also strange that decoding is keeping up but not rendering.

Ah. Adding the performance overlay I can now see my GPU sitting at 100% even when doing the 720p test

Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
Yeah I’m very aware I’m pushing the limits of what’s possible here. Tomorrow I’ll get a cable that hopefully lets me get VRR going as well, then I’ll have achieved end game streaming setup 🤩

Frame limit in performance overlay is at 120 fps default, and disabling frame limit changes nothing. Flipping "allow tearing" also doesn't change anything.

Getting Moonlight streaming to work at 120hz using a Bazzite client
I've tried:
- Running it in Game mode (added Moonlight as a non-steam game in desktop mode, then switched over to Game mode and ran it)
- Running it directly in Desktop mode (e.g. not via Steam)
- Running it via Steam in Desktop mode
Only interesting observation is that rendering seems to cap at 60fps in Game mode and 50fps in Desktop mode.

Yes both Windows and Bazzite clients are configured for 4k 120hz 150mbps. That configures the incoming 120hz video stream, which is coming in fine on both ends. Reading the stats in the screenshots, the client under Bazzite has an issue rendering it at that rate.
