60fps Destiny2 over steamlink

I don't want to start a PC master race/mouse keyboard/controller dialog... But I just recently had my first kid, and playing downstairs on the TV is WAY more desirable.

Heres what I did to get it working perfectly... (using nvidia 970 with i5, and an xbox one controller, with the xbox one usb wireless adapter)

After normal install/setup of the steam link... Goto settings->in home streaming, and set client options to Beautiful settings->in home streaming

Setting	Value
settings->in home streaming->client options	Beautiful
settings->in home streaming->advanced->hardware decoding	Enable
settings->in home streaming->advanced->limit resolution	720
settings->in home streaming->advanced->display performance information	enabled (preference)
settings->advanced host options->dynamically adjust capture resolution	enabled
settings->advanced host options->use nvfbc	enabled
settings->advanced host options->enable hardware encoding	enabled
settings->advanced host options->enable hardware encoding on nvidia gpu	enabled

I limit to 720 as with the size of my tv, and distance, I can barely tell the difference, and I prefer frames to pixels

The next 2 things I used Process Explorer from sysinternals to set priorities https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/downloads/process-explorer

Set the Steam client priority to "above normal" To get the xbox controller working remotely, I used virtualhere http://store.steampowered.com/app/440520/VirtualHere_For_Steam_Link/

To ensure input never lagged, or disconnected, I set the virtual here program's priority to "high"

Using the controller directly through the steamlink, emulates a generic controller (couldn't get it to pass through correctly using direct usb, or bluetooth with the newer xbox one controllers)

The biggest setting I found that helped me was the nvfbc (this offloads the encoding of the video to the gpu, it seemed my system was more cpu starved than gpu, so this gave me a huge improvement)

Hopefully this can be helpful to someone else, and please if any of this doesn't make sense let me know :)
