Hey everyone,

I’m trying to optimize my GeForce Now setup on NVIDIA SHIELD, but I’m still getting noticeable input delay and can’t pinpoint the cause.

I live in Brazil.

Setup:

• NVIDIA SHIELD (Ethernet – 300 Mbps, stable)
• Samsung TV (UN65RU7100G – 2019) via HDMI
• GeForce Now native app
• Controller: GameSir G7 Pro (connected to SHIELD)
• Ultimate Membership (the best option in Brazil)

Issue:

• Input lag is annoying in every game.
• Playable, but not “snappy”
• Feels like a delay between input → on-screen action

What I’ve checked:

• Wired and stable internet
• Every graphic setting, from lowest to highest. Everything runs smoothly.
• Every game, from old games with low demand to Crimson Desert
• Brazil has only one serve available
• Low network congestion

What I’m trying to figure out:

1. Is this just normal cloud gaming latency, even with a good setup?
2. Could the Samsung TV (2019) still be adding meaningful input lag?
3. Could the GameSir G7 Pro be introducing extra delay vs wired/other controllers?
4. Any key SHIELD settings I should tweak (resolution, AI upscaling, frame rate)?

If anyone has a SHIELD + GFN setup that feels close to local, I’d love to know what made the difference.

Thanks 🙏
