Basically I am looking for a way to use my pc which is in the basement (because I have 2 sim rigs) to RDP to my living room there is an Ethernet cable connecting the two.

I was thinking of raspberry + peripherals. Would it work normally?

Parsec has the lowest latency of any large free remote view software.

You can get 10 ms round trip on LAN, which is less than 1 frame at 60 FPS. You need Intel CPUs with QuickSync Video or nVidia nVENC GPUs. nVidia has the fastest hardware acceleration of anyone. On both the client and host. A Raspberry Pi isn’t supported by Parsec anymore. It’s not the best choice for this type of thing. A $150-$200 mini pc would be the best.

+1 for Parsec. I subscribed to Parsec Warp to run my gaming PC headless. A HDMI dummy plug will also do the job but make sure it supports the resolution of your client. AMD cards also work fine for encoding but you lose 4:4:4 color. At high enough pixel density, even the 4:2:0 color doesn’t look bad.
