Tom's Guide: "I tested Nvidia GeForce Now’s RTX 5080 upgrade — it made my $750 PS5 Pro feel old"

so more latency than on ps5?
Hard to tell because I don't have Cyberpunk on PS5. I wanted to try God of War Ragnarok since I have it on both my Pro and PC, but Sony removed it from GeForce Now.

The GeForce Now version shows I'm running the game at ~90-100fps with frame generation maxed out with path tracing at 3440x1440. On PC, I'm running the same settings but at ~115fps. The native version feels a lot snappier.

If I cap the native version at 60fps, it then feels comparable to GeForce Now at 90fps. If it's better than the console version, it isn't by much when it comes to latency and game feel.

You can play single-player games using GeForce Now. Any competitive fast-paced game that requires twitch reflexes will cook you.

From the article....

"I got to demo this in two ways. First, with Cyberpunk 2077 running on a PS5 Pro (with an LG OLED TV) and that same LG TV running GeForce Now. The first thing you notice is that fidelity difference — Night City is so rich with tiny details to every texture on GeForce Now, and DLSS 4 continues to be an industry leader in AI upscaling. Throw in multi-frame gen, and you're getting a rock-solid 120 FPS, whereas the PS5 Pro is rigidly stuck to 30."

Huh? How is Pro stuck at 30fps when Cyberpunk 2077 has a 60fps mode on base PS5?

Maybe he rigidly refuses to look into menus in console games. Ever think about that, Chrissy?

Sony never released their titles to GFN. You can play them on AMD-powered Boosteroid though.

Oh, I thought they were there but were removed. Whatever the case, GeForce Now to me isn't a viable alternative to a console or high-end PC. The console is much cheaper. The PC is much better.
 
Try it.

For all the naysayers... its literally like local. I'm not fucking with you. Maybe even better. You don't need a 4000$ PC my friends. This is the real deal.
It really isn't like local. I tried them and the difference is extremely obvious. Local feels much better.
