Gaming server can stream four games in parallel

Alienware, the gaming subsidiary of the US PC specialist Dell, is showing an unusual gaming PC called Concept Nyx at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, on which up to four games can be played simultaneously and streamed to other devices . Whether this will become a marketable product is still in the stars.

Dell uses the CES stage every year to present unusual prototypes. So far, however, very few have turned into a marketable product. Two years ago, for example, a handheld PC in the format of a Nintendo Switch was shown that was never ready for the market. This time at CES, Alienware unveiled Concept Nyx, another unusual gaming machine that can play up to four PC games at the same time can be calculated. You can play them wherever you want: Concept Nyx is intended as a streaming server that is supposed to stream the games on laptops, tablets, smartphones or smart TVs. Functionality is reminiscent of Steam Link So the functionality is a bit reminiscent of what the PC is Game service Steam has been able to do for a long time. Here, too, you can calculate games on the potent gaming bolide in the study and have them streamed to other devices via the home network using the Steam Link receiver app. Alienware wants to take the concept to the next level and calculate not just one game, but several at the same time and stream into the home network. In addition, the Alienware streaming server should enable seamless switching between multiple screens and the simultaneous use of multiple games on a split screen. Local alternative to cloud gaming Compared to cloud solutions such as Geforce Now or Google Stadia, a local streaming server in the home network promises a Provided that the network is sufficiently fast – faster response times, and this approach also saves you the subscription fees of the cloud providers. Disadvantage: The financial entry barrier would be significantly higher because a streaming server like Concept Nyx costs upwards of 2000 euros – if it is unlike previous Alienware prototypes, it actually hits the market.
