Sunshine, alternative Linux à NVIDIA GeForce NOW
Mis à jour le
Notre avis
Sunshine is a good replacement for NVIDIA GeForce NOW if you own a gaming PC and want to stream from it over a local network or remotely. Unlike GeForce NOW, it doesn’t provide cloud-hosted games—you need your own game library and host machine. Latency is low with proper hardware encoding, and it supports controllers and high-resolution streaming. Best for technically inclined users comfortable with self-hosting. Not ideal for those wanting plug-and-play cloud gaming without a powerful local machine.

- No built-in game library—Sunshine streams only locally installed games

- Sunshine needs manual setup including certificate handling and pairing
- GeForce NOW offers automatic progress sync via NVIDIA account; Sunshine relies on game-specific or third-party sync
Ouvrir vos fichiers NVIDIA GeForce NOW
Sunshine does not interact with GeForce NOW files or accounts, so there's no direct file compatibility. Game saves and settings remain tied to the host system or game platform (like Steam). You must manually sync save data using cloud platforms (e.g., Steam Cloud, Epic) or external tools. If your games support cross-platform saves, moving from GeForce NOW to Sunshine won't break progress—as long as the underlying game does.

Can I use Sunshine without a powerful gaming PC?
No, Sunshine requires a capable host machine to run games locally. It streams from your own PC, not from the cloud.
Does Sunshine work over the internet like GeForce NOW?
Yes, but it requires manual port forwarding or a VPN. It's less user-friendly than GeForce NOW for remote access.
Is gamepad input supported?
Yes, controllers connected to the client device are passed through to the host via Moonlight.
