Latency in Moonlight is extremely dependant on your setup. Most people are aware of having a good connection, preferably with both client and host using CAT6 cable. But you also need a good encoder and decoder.
For instance, using my GTX 1660 Super as the encoding GPU and my Snapdragon 888 Android phone as the decoding device, I had 14 Ms of latency.
Using my RTX 4060 Ti as the encoding GPU and my LG C1 HEVC decoder, the latency is 8 ms.
Using the same RTX GPU as the encoder, but my Steam Deck as the decoder, latency is 2 ms. Or in other words, so fast I can’t even notice it’s streaming and not native.
It’s definitely worth trying out, even at 8 ms on my TV this is faster than the delay a regular old Xbox controller would have, and the quality is impressively good.
