Our throttle testing started with a limit of 5 Mbps of download speed, which
Sony recommends as the minimum "for an optimal gaming experience." At that bandwidth level, the service usually wouldn't even start; instead, a pre-launch connection test told us that the connection simply wasn't good enough for PlayStation Now. The same error surfaced when bumping the bandwidth limit up to 6 Mbps.
At 7 Mbps, we were able to start PlayStation Now reliably—but with a significant performance hit. The image was noticeably grainier than it had been at full bandwidth. Sometimes we were able to get a relatively smooth frame rate at this bandwidth, but most of the time the frame rate stuttered, dipping noticeably up and down near constantly. A game like
Super Street Fighter IV was technically playable at this level, and inputs seemed to register just fine, but the constant stuttering usually made it a frustrating experience.
With just a little more bandwidth, though, the experience improved quite a bit. At a limit of 8 Mbps, the image returned to what seemed like 720p HD and boasted a solid frame rate throughout. At this bandwidth level, the only issues were occasional compression artifacts appearing as small, scrambled boxes of pixels for a few frames here and there. By the time we hit 9 Mbps of download speed, streaming once again felt like local play.
Jeder Techniknoob kann auf dem PC in zwei Minuten entsprechende Lüfterkurven erstellen, da kann es doch nicht zu viel verlangt sein, dass Sony bei einem der Tausend Updates mal eins für die Lüfter nachschiebt
