Posted January 8, 2018 Want to play demanding games on your underpowered laptop or desktop PC? Then you might be interested to learn that Nvidia’s game streaming solution which allows you to do just this has opened its doors as a free beta. Quote"techradar" Quote The GeForce Now service effectively gives your less-than-speedy machine – say, a laptop with integrated graphics – access to powerful GeForce GTX graphics cards via the cloud, allowing it to stream intensive games at 1080p resolution, achieving up to a highly fluid 120 fps (frames per second). And you can crank up the graphics detail settings to high, as well. This reminds me a lot of the ps4 feature which allows users to stream ps4 games to play on their pc.. and it works, so this is awesome! Quote Your frame rate will depend on the exact game, with Nvidia noting that Fortnite will reach the full 120 fps, for example, while streaming PlayerUnknown’s Battlegrounds will hit 60 fps (although that’s still plenty smooth). Playing battlegrounds in 60fps is like shooting yourself with an arrow to your knee. the disadvantages will absurd because some people are playin pubg on 120fps Quote"techradar" Quote There are other benefits to the system, too, as GeForce Now also handles the likes of game patches and driver updates, installing these automatically. Your saved games are stored in the cloud, meaning you can access them from different devices (perhaps running different operating systems). Both Windows and Mac gamers can sign up for the public beta in most of North America and Europe currently, then hook up their library of games from major digital stores such as Steam and Ubisoft’s Uplay, and start playing. When you’re given access to GeForce Now, that is – the slight downside is that at the moment, Nvidia says that there’s a waiting list to give the beta a go due to popular demand. You can sign yourself up to the list right here. Of course, as with any streaming service, performance will be dependent on one factor: the strength of your internet connection. I would figure...But they didn't give us info on how fast our net needs to be. but i wouldnt recommend anyone to try this with lest that 10mb download/upload. By the way wouldnt this affect their sales in higher end gpus? bold move by nvidia Source: http://www.techradar.com/news/nvidia-launches-geforce-now-beta-so-you-can-play-top-games-on-even-an-old-laptop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 8, 2018 It's stupid to lead with PUBG as an example yes, but for someone like me that favors single player games and RPGs big time this could be all I need (that is, if I didn't have a decent rig already) The issue is that if you can afford a monthly fee and a very robust internet connection, you can probably put together money for a 1060 based gaming rig or something. ------- Current Rig ------- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted January 8, 2018 Playing PUBG should not make too much of a difference if reports are correct, and the tickrate of the servers regularly drop down to 2, but are not often higher than 20, and the latency is over 100ms.

Posted January 8, 2018 I wonder if this furthers the steps of developers one day requiring we pay for their subscription game streaming service to play a new game, removing any ownership of that game from the consumer once and for all.

Posted January 8, 2018 Oh man they are going to make so much off this if it succeeds.

Posted January 8, 2018 I hate Game Streaming idea and services i hope they never take off. Dont misunderstand it could be a great technology but in the hands of these fucking corporations they will ruin gaming even more. Ideally it would have not been so bad to have a 3rd party service offering access to thousands of games like steam and at the same time offer streaming for those games or use your own PC. With accessible prices like 25$/month for 60fps/High settings modest number of games available, and like 50-60$ for 120fpsUltra, pay more for more games. Altough it doesnt make sense such a service just the power bill alone would be insane for nvidia the only way is to pay by the hour and i imagine that aint cheap anything above 0.5$/hour is completely unnacceptable, but hey i guess this will be very popular in Asia LAN Cafe's and places where you make 8+$/hour, this shit could take off really fast, i can already imagine phones/handheld consoles/nvidia shield etc with 5G and game streaming 60-120fps ultra PC master race quality everywhere and anywhere. The latency is the number one problem here, even if you have bandwidth i cant see how can u stream 1080p 120fps or 2k/4k 30/60fps and have a decent latency, hell even playing on your PC and the server latency is 50-100ms unless you are close to the server. I would imagine this service needs a complete decoupling between the input and the game stream and have the input servers optimized for fast response not troughput and the image streaming server for troughput/quality/fps.

It's not necessarily about not being able to afford a GPU. I looked into it when it was first announced at CES last year, and iirc it made sense for me to use it (although I haven't since I still have my 780) since I mostly play Dota 2 and CSGO (which I can play just fine on integrated graphics), and probably play less than 200 hours/year of demanding games. So if you worked out the costs it ended up being about the same price as buying a GPU but while keeping me with up to date performance. 5 minutes ago, IamODIN said: how long is a while? show me the source of this (a while ago) Well, I've had the beta installed for about six months now and it existed for a bit before that.

Theres so much RNG of finding the weapons right away to the Stragetey of the circle making the best out of your shitty situations your dealt. I have 11 Chicken Dinners right now and only play 60hz Monitor. Yeah its a FPS but theres so much more to it. i just feel like 99% of the time it wont matter 60 vs 120 besides it being more pleasant in this game to play.

Posted January 9, 2018 In 2017, Nvidia launched the beta for GeForce Now for Mac. Now, Nvidia is launching the Beta for GeForce Now for PC. Pricing and availability of the final product is not known at this time. And of course everybody tries to play PUBG on every device they can .... Quote Nvidia announced a beta for its GeForce Now game streaming service for the Mac last year, and now it’s finally coming to Windows PCs. Starting this week, beta users of the GeForce Now Mac client will be able to install and run the Windows app. This brings the beta service far beyond its roots as an exclusive to for Nvidia’s Android-based Shield devices, and more into the core Windows gaming PC audience. I got a chance to play with an early beta of the GeForce Now service on a $400 Windows PC at CES today. My biggest concerns about game streaming services are latency and internet connections, but Nvidia had the service setup using a 50mbps connection on the Wynn hotel’s Wi-Fi. I didn’t notice a single issue, and it honestly felt like I was playing Player Unknown’s Battlegrounds directly on the cheap laptop in front of me. If I actually tried to play the game locally, it would be impossible as the game was barely rendering at all or at 2fps This service is meant for people who don't have a Gaming Ready PC and is not for other Nvidia customers with GeForce video cards. As a reminder it basically streams rendered frames of a game from Nvidia's datacenter containing GeForce GTX 1060 and GTX 1080 video cards to the end user so that they can play a game even if their PC is incapable of it. It'd be nice if AMD offered a similar service and offering RX 560 for eSports, RX 580 for 1080p and Vega 56 options. I think if AMD did something like it then it would boost RTG's revenue.
