    Everything I have read suggests that in order to use the remote play feature, it is only supported on desktop 6 Series GTX GPUs and higher.

    Is this a software limitation? I see no reason that a 680M should not be able to handle what a desktop 660 GTX can do. I assume there is a hack or work around but was wondering it anyone has first hand experience.

    I've seen rumors of a Registry hack that allows streaming to Shield on mobile Kepler, but don't take my word for it because I have no experience. It's your call, but considering the significant monetary investment of a Shield I would play it safe.

    Should work if you don't have optimus. Use at your own risk

    - Right click GeForce Experience icon
    - Properties
    - Add -shadowplay at the and of the target path like so
    .....nce\GFExperience.exe" -shadowplay
    - Have a nice day

    Here is my test on a 680m

    Excellent post. Thanks for sharing this.

    A bit off topic, but how are you liking you shield?

    Correct ShadowPlay is not the same as streaming PC games to Shield. Thanks for sharing your ShadowPlay footage but it doesn't help the OP.
