I have a 1000/100 fiber connection and the best ping I've gotten is 6 ms. Most often I get 16 ms though.


16ms is basically 60fps. That should feel pretty smooth.


Gotta multiply it by two though, since you need a round trip from your computer -> Stadia -> your computer to get feedback right?


Ping is measured round-trip. So the game should get your input in ~8ms, process it, then it will take ~8ms for the feedback to return to you.

Depending on how user input is processed in a game, this problem can be mitigated.


Oh wow, never realized this..but I guess ping in one direction is hard to measure anyway since it'd require sync'd clocks. TIL!
