Next, I tried The Chronicles of Riddick: Escape from Butcher Bay, one of the better film adaptations in my opinion. It’s not a very good game anyway, so no big loss. However, it didn’t recognize the controller and rendered at the wrong resolution in a tiny window. Since Star Wars: The Force Unleashed is a console port, I thought it might work. Portal 2 also worked after manually enabling controller support from within the game.Īfter seeing how well GameStream worked with some of my Steam games, I decided to push the compatibility boundary by breaking out some really old games. Even though Nvidia lists support for BioShock 2, my version on DVD wouldn’t recognize the Shield Controller, nor was there any way to enable support from within the options menu.īioShock Infinite and Fallout 3, both purchased through Steam, worked well and even referenced the controller inputs rather than keyboard/mouse commands in the on-screen instructions. The second issue involves game controller support, or rather a lack thereof. Launching a game on the Shield and then running downstairs to pop a disc into your drive breaks the mood. First, most games on optical disc require it physically present to play. I found the games I purchased through Steam to work best, while some of my older titles on DVD had issues. Playing PC games on a tablet from nearly anywhere you want is certainly cool, but not flawless. In the article Shield Remote GameStream: How Far Will You Go to Game?, we examine how well GameStream works over several different connections using the Shield Portable.

Streaming PC games over the Internet calls for a minimum symmetric bandwidth of 5Mb/s. For streaming over Wi-Fi, Nvidia recommends at least an 802.11a/g router, but preferably an 802.11n dual-band router.

In addition to the GPU requirements, GameStream requires the GeForce Experience application and Nvidia's latest drivers on a PC running Windows 7 or newer.
#NVIDIA SHIELD CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY 720P#
GameStream supports 720p video over wireless connections and 1080p over Ethernet using an optional Ethernet-to-USB adapter at up to 60 frames per second.

The resulting H.264 video stream is then sent over Wi-Fi or the Internet to a Shield Portable or Shield Tablet, which uses its Nvidia GPU’s PureVideo HD feature for decoding the stream. A proprietary technology, GameStream utilizes a GeForce GTX 650 or better graphics card (Kepler-based GTX 600M or higher mobile GPU) to render the game on the PC with the NVEnc hardware-based encoder. GameStream is the key to playing your PC games in bed, the backyard, or even down the street at the coffee shop. Switching to this mode closes all open applications and reboots the tablet. You will also be able to navigate through the menu system using the controller.The second option is Console mode, which turns off the tablet’s display and does away with letterboxing by changing the native resolution on the tablet to 1920x1080 to match the TV.

You should now be able to use either to play GeForce or other games on the device. The Shield TV should see either controller in its Bluetooth devices menu and voila.
#NVIDIA SHIELD CONTROLLER COMPATIBILITY UPDATE#
(Pocket-lint) - Nvidia has pushed a system software update for the Shield TV that adds next-gen controller support.
