Streaming PC games to Xbox technical question: Which GPU is used?

captainsparkle · May 25, 2019

Hello,

I've been looking around for some specifics on the ability to stream from a PC to an Xbox one, but haven't found the details.

If I play a PC game, and stream it to an XBox One X, will the game take advantage of the Xbox GPU and processor? or will it be rendered on my PC (which is not near as fast as an Xbox), and have the screen image sent to the Xbox which just acts like a wireless
monitor?

Thanks!

:)

Sorry if my last comment was a little harsh. No harm intended. 😳

For everyone else:

'Wireless Display'

The same casting experience available on Microsoft's Surface Hub and Windows has finally arrived on Xbox One! Microsoft's Wireless Display app lets you wirelessly project your Windows or Android based devices to your Xbox One.

- Instantly share photos you've just taken with family and friends without having the photos sync through a cloud service. - Share video clips you’ve recorded with family and friends - Project your favorite websites with Microsoft Edge to the biggest
screen in your house - Mirror your Android games to your TV so your friends can watch - Play your PC games on your Xbox while using the Xbox controller as a gamepad - Use your PC on your Xbox One and use the Xbox controller as a mouse/keyboard Note: Projecting
protected content, like Netflix and Hulu are not supported'

Hi,

If you use the recently released stream PC to your Xbox app, the Xbox console simply works as a client machine. All of the processing and graphics work is done on the PC hardware.

If you were hoping streaming PC games to your console would make them run better, I'm afraid that's not how it works. Sorry.

Not sure that is even possible or why you would even want to. What exactly are you trying to accomplish?
