Poor performance when streaming Xbox to PC

Hi themknabster,

As mentioned above it could be something to do with your internet speed, how many devices you have connected while doing this. In my opinion It could be the spec of your computer. Even if your not using programs such as OBS Streamlabs OBS, or X-split, with
out a powerful enough pc you will have dropped frames, (lag) a spike in your cpu. Personally I would recommend something with 12gb of RAM. other specs surrounding that should all be what your looking for at the point of the pc.

Hello there fellow gamer,

We understand that there are some games that are not properly streaming, or that the quality of the streaming is not so great.

Our suggestion, please attempt to follow our improve Xbox app for Windows 10 game streaming performance
support article which lists various steps on improving such streaming.

Try this for us and let us know if this works.

Best wishes!

Hi there themknabster

I have to ask you the specs of the pc, and what type of connection it has, Due to this is a major part of it including net connection matters on this type of issue so does specs.

Some games are really heavy on ram like backwards compat games are heavy on the streaming side of things to pc. It is suggested a great wireless connection router, But the pc should have over 8gb of ram and a good processor of course.

There are three options. You don't have Open NAT. You have an old type of router. You have a slow internet connection.

Thanks everyone for your responses! Here's my answers to each of you:

@Jurgen1488: I have an Open NAT setup, the router is a Gigabit wireless AC router, so i have the latest model that Verizon FIOS has to offer,and
my internet connection is 75/75 so this shouldn't be an issue.

@XBF Javier R: I checked out the referenced guide but all the steps are for wireless connections, not a wired one. My issues lie with a wired
one, so this is not applicable.

@XsmkstarzX: I have control over all the devices on the network, and whenever i try to do this, I restrict access to only those that need it.
So whenever i try playing a game, the only connections that are taking place are the Xbox, my PC it's streaming to, and a file server that sits on the network when needed.

@AngelObullets: This is what i was wondering about if there are requirements for the streaming PC to have besides the network speed. The
machine i'm trying to stream it to has a quad core 2.83Ghz CPU, 16GB RAM, 2GB GPU, 500GB SSD, and the bluetooth connection needed for the controller to connect to.

I guess what i don't understand is that some games work but others don't. Besides the game being newer, you would think Forza Horizon 3 vs 4 would behave the same way when streaming.
