New EHM on Nvidia Shield Tablet?

Post by price31 »

With the new Nvidia Shield you are capable of playing steam games on the tablet. I am just wondering if anyone has tried this and how did it go? Was it laggy, hard to click on things ? Thinking of buying a NV Shield and this would be the big thing for me.

You still need a computer with a specific GPU right? I mean, the tablet doesn't do the work, it's still the computer that does?

I thought they were streamed from Nvidia's servers, "in the cloud"?

At this time, EHM is not supported according to their site. So unless Nvidia decides it's worthy to install on their servers for streaming, it looks like a no-go. Someone else can correct me if I'm reading the info wrong on it.

What you *can* do is install EHM on a beefy desktop, and then install something like Splashtop Remote Desktop to stream its screen to a tablet. I have done this myself, streaming it to my Kindle Fire just over my LAN, and if you can get around the small screen issues, it works pretty well. But it's about the only solution I have found to play EHM away from your desktop or laptop.
