I recently found out about Moonlight so have been trying it out. I have a laptop with a GeForce driver connected to wifi and a new Apple TV box with an ethernet connection. I have fibre broadband and get speeds around 320 Mbps most of the time. My router/modem is the Spark Smart Modem - a couple of years old. I bought Forza Horizon 4 cheaply to test whether I can get Moonlight working on my TV.

I cannot seem to get more than 10-15fps.

I have tried messing with all the settings and reading all the many pieces of advice on the net.

Can anyone think of any rookie mistakes I could be making?

I would try having all devices on ethernet to start with, just to eliminate the possibility.

Are you using Sunshine? No doubt since it was based on nvidias gamestream it would be using nvenc encoding but possibly a bottleneck somewhere in delivering video.

I have a gaming VM with a AMD GPU that has sunshine and moonlight works fine on my desktop and laptop. I mostly use Steam Remote play with my steam link and steam controller.
