The codec is reported to improve streaming quality on local networks but consumes '5-10 times' more bandwidth than the existing option. The excerpt contains almost no further technical detail — no supported hardware, resolution/framerate figures, rollout date, or opt-in mechanism — because the supplied text is largely subscription boilerplate. Why: If you stream games or remote sessions across a LAN — or you're building anything that trades bandwidth for latency (remote dev boxes, cloud gaming, thin-client setups) — this is a concrete data point that the low-latency win costs roughly 5-10x the bits, which will break on Wi-Fi or capped connections even when it looks fine on wired Ethernet. Beyond that, the source text doesn't say which GPUs/clients support Pyrowave or whether it's default or opt-in, so there's nothing actionable to configure yet; treat this as a watch item, not a change to make. game-streaming codecs steam bandwidth-vs-latency
