Now, NVIDIA is introducing an ecosystem of "NVIDIA GameStream-ready" certified PCs and Wi-Fi routers that will give gamers the ability to ensure super-smooth, low-latency gaming from their PC, or the cloud, using gear from a wide variety of sources. Gamers can play their favorite titles as easily as they can watch a movie on Netflix.

Two months ago, the company moved GameStream out of beta, with support for over 50 games. A month later, it added support for 1080p at a silky smooth 60 frames per second. More recently, a beta service that enables gamers to be streamed directly from the cloud to Shield was launched.

NVIDIA has been working with PC manufacturers to create GameStream-ready PCs that have the NVIDIA GeForce GTX card required for game streaming and come preinstalled with NVIDIA GeForce Experience, which provides the necessary software.

The list includes:-

CyberPowerPC
Digital Storm
Falcon Northwest
IBUYPOWER
MAINGEAR
Origin PCV3 Gaming

NVIDIA GameStream-ready routers are optimized for in-home PC game streaming from GeForce GTX-powered PCs, as well as NVIDIA GRID cloud game streaming.

They include:-

Asus RT-AC66U
Asus RT-AC68U
Asus RT-N56U
Asus RT-N66U
Buffalo AirStation Extreme AC 1750
Buffalo AirStation Extreme AC 1200

D-Link DGL-5500 AC1300
Netgear Nighthawk R700
Netgear R6300

By referring to the list of NVIDIA GameStream qualified components and Wi-Fi routers, you can stream your PC games from your PC, and eventually the cloud, to your Shield.
