AMD Link performance on android tv

by IIALE34II

Today, AMD released their new AMD Driver, with one of the sellers being AMD Link update. So I updated my drivers with my 6700XT, turned on my nvidia Shield TV, updated the app, and I get unbearable performance. AMD Link application works pretty much flawlessly on my phone though. So I started investigating. Turns out, that decoding delay on shield is 10 times that it is on my phone, Samsung Galaxy S10+. So under 10ms vs over 100ms. I don't think my phone is that much more powerful, so it doesn't make any sense to me. I'd guess its caused by AMD Link TV application being software accelerated, rather than hardware.

But what I wanted to ask is, could someone, with AMD GPU try it out on their non Shield TV, Android TV. So is the issue Shield TV specific, or is the whole application broken.

I just did a comparison on my AndroidTV between SteamLink and AMD Link... ultimately both were disappointing, but AMD Link was dogshit. Looked worse, bad input lag and terrible framerate. The performance graph said I was getting 200ms latency, on my local 1gb wired ethernet network.

Steam Link was better in terms of fidelity and framerate, however I still suffered too much input lag to be playable.

Have you tried Parsec or Rainway instead? Both worked fine on my Shield when I had a 580.

I could be completely wrong here, but I think to recall when I tried that its related to the codec used by AMD Link which is not properly supported in the Shield.

But again, I could be wrong and confused about if it is related.

Sorry to necro this but seemed a good place to ask - is this still a problem for the Shield? Tossing up between this and the latest Apple TV 4k (read recently that it handles AMD Link well), but would prefer to go with the Shield. Anyone on the latest Shield beta that might have seen an improvement?
