When it comes to latency, there is no contest between Stadia and playing on a local PC. Local PC latency (1080p, 100-150Mbps, keyboard/mouse)

Input latency stats (in milliseconds) Game The native latency of my TV ( which is quite low (opens in new tab)) and monitor factors into each result, but most of it will come from my internet connect and how many 'hops' it takes to connect my home internet to Google's servers and back again. While Google Stadia recommends 35Mpbs minimum for 4K gaming, we recommend at least 100Mbps (and 50Mbps for 1080p) if you want smooth play with a stable resolution.Īll the below testing was performed on a 5Ghz wireless connection, and latency testing was filmed at 240 fps, counting the frames between key/button press and the action on screen to get the latency in milliseconds. (The only cable outlet is in the bedroom, which is on the opposite side of my home from the TV with the connected Chromecast.) However, I was able to conduct latency tests both on my TV and PC at the maximum wireless bandwidth possible, 150Mbps, as well as compare the results to local PC performance. There were a few limitations to my tests: 4K isn't available via Stadia on PC I could not connect the Stadia controller to my PC and I could not connect my Chromecast to an Ethernet cable due to the layout of my home.
