And even your super 1Gbps fiber will not help you if you're using wifi. The latency for streamed games is not at all comparable to the latency we have with locally played online games. Latency in streamed games affects input delay and as such effectively doubles your latency while playing. Short and smaller spikes will not be noticeable on local games because the game is using prediction, that is not possible when streaming video. But while this sounds very dire I'm hopeful for its success due to 2 factors. Latency will improve significantly in the decades to come and the vast majority of gamers don't give 2 shits about quality or high fidelity. |
if you don't know shit about how to manage a local wifi yes..
but the stuff you buy gets better all the time and crappy wifi's have started to go away since 802.11n standard and beyond.
But if you don't know why you should split your old devices that use old network standards from your newer devices then yes. then it probably doesn't matter what your WAN is capable of.
cause you screwed yourself on the wifi
