Geforce Now aka Stadia Killer

Post by lestat »

Well Stadia kinda killed itself but regardless nvidia just launched their Geforce Now service for $5 a month. It allows you to stream PC games running on a Rtx2080 and it hooks into your existing PC libraries/accounts.

Streaming games. I'm surprised that you're pimping this since you are usually the first person to complain about input lag. Maybe streaming games has improved but it's not something I would even consider.

Why doesn't that article mention lag? Is it that much of a non-issue for Euro...gamers?

Don't shoot the messenger, gaming news these days is pretty light, need something to talk about. I do find cloud wars somewhat intriguing right now, quite a few players are throwing their hat into the ring. I could see a future where internet access is fast enough that casuals will end up using these services.

All other forms of entertainment have transitioned to the streaming future, I guess it's only a matter of time before gaming makes that transition.

Fast enough, maybe. Reliable enough, I wouldn't put my money on it.
