Support NeoGAF

It just works.

Comparing a game stream at maxed-out settings with frame generation to the PS5's 30fps mode to evaluate input latency was an interesting choice.

this is another one of many "previews" that's actually an glorified ad that nvidia likes to employ.

Gamers Nexus exposed this. All the comparisons are heavily restricted by Nvidia and you are just reading a script they provide.

No, it's a cloud streaming service. You must own the games on Steam, GOG, Epic, or other services to play them remotely on NVIDIA's cloud platform.

The advantage is that the highest tier called Ultimate costs $20/month and gives you access to play remotely on an RTX 4080-equipped rig. The disadvantage is the added network latency and that you don't own the hardware and are limited to 8 hours of uninterrupted gaming before having to sign back in. Also, you have 100 hours of game time included per month.

A computer with such performance would probably be close to $2000. That's 100 months of GeForce Now or 8.3 years. Less if you take the 6 months plan. It sounds quite economical, but there are drawbacks to consider.

I mean, that kinda a nice idea or something cool. So it all games? Or games they supported? Seems like I could see it being something nice, beside having so much hours to play. Even tho, I don't believe I do 8 hours in one sitting. But I can easily have over 100 hours in a month.

only games that developers greenlight are compatible.

they seem to work on a way to let you install any game, but with limited storage space, and you'd have to install these games each time you boot up a virtual PC of theirs.
that feature isn't implemented yet but they are starting to test it with some select games afaik.

Wow a Ferrari is better to a Ford. Shocking.

Is it? What about fuel economy, price, 1966 Lemans?

Is Konami and R* ever gonna go on there?

People really cant write fluff piece without trying to shade trow at something anymore huh

"I think we're looking at the ultimate console killer of a service."

Read the article. Or at least look at the lead image.
He's making that comparison because he's streaming GeForce Now to the same TV he has his high end console hooked up to, and he's supposedly getting better visuals and framerates.

The thing is......these are two totally different gaming models for consumers\gamers. The article's whole push ultimately is to convince their readers to move to streaming their games permanently, instead of gaming on hardware like the PS5, PS5 Pro, or Nintendo Switch 1 or 2.

That's just dumb to me. He's not giving his readers to full picture.

That's like a rule of modern days. No matter what it's about something else has to suck.

Apples and Watermelons.

1. You can just run games from your libraries.
2. Devs don't need to convert games to Linux.
3. Nvidia owns the hardware and can upgrade whenever it makes sense.

Yeah but then it's this, i don't know if i reach the 100 hours probably not but its something to consider, right?

-If you're a new user, Nvidia will be limiting players to 100 hours of gameplay per month. For some of us who work, it's not a drama, but for those who have more time, it could be a problem in the future.
