Cloud Technology is Turning 200$ PC's into 2000$ Gaming Beasts!

in gaming •  7 years ago  (edited)

I'm sure that everyone would like to play their games at the highest settings with zero latency and best possible performance but most of us just don't have the money to build a gaming computer. So we are left either at low settings to ensure playability or playing games that are less intense on the system.

With the advancements in cloud technology today we have an unique opportunity to clean the dust from our oldest PC/Mac and play currently most graphic intense games at full HD. Sounds impossible doesn't it?

Meet The Future of Gaming



GeForce Now is a game streaming service that turns practically any PC/Mac out there into a beastly machine capable of handling today's most graphically demanding games running them with almost zero latency at the highest possible settings for just $7.99 per month.

By using our unparalleled technology and the performance of the world’s fastest graphics cards, virtually all PCs and Macs can be transformed into blisteringly-fast GeForce gaming rigs, capable of playing over 160 games at max settings. And now, in our newest beta, select titles can be played at up to 120 FPS up to 1920x1080, for the smoothest-possible cloud gaming experience.

To put it simply GeForce Now allows you to remotely tap into the superpowers of an expensive gaming rig from almost any computer. The company says that the gaming performance is identicall to playing with a GTX 1080 card. While they didn't release other specifications, you can bet they have more than enough RAM and CPU horsepower.

When playing you are not running the games on your PC but rather watching a video streaming to your PC. But since there's very little to no latency (if yo have a good connection) it actually feels as if the games are running right on your computer.

In conclusion then, whether you want to use GeForce NOW to continue gaming while away from your primary PC, to play the latest titles on a decade-old system that’s below minimum system requirements of new games, or to play PC games on a Mac, GeForce NOW delivers the world’s best cloud gaming experience. Whichever way you play you’ll be doing so with the highest levels of graphical fidelity, at up to 120 FPS, for the smoothest, clearest cloud-based gameplay seen to date.

What games can you play?

Any games that you have on Steam, Origin, GOG, Uplay or any other game-selling hub, can be simply installed on the the remote machine and played whenever you want.

How to get in on the action?

If you have a SHIELD device than it's just a matter launching from NVIDIA games or Sheild HUB. You will get a FREE month and all others will cost you 7.99$ per month. Which is dirt cheap IMO and if I had it I would definitely use the opportunity to play whatever game I want at the peak performance!

But I don't have a SHIELD

Then you can either buy one for 180$ here or if you are from North America or Europe you can register for the FREE beta testing here and hope you actually get chosen. But don't get your hopes up as there are countless people before you on the list. I signed up 10 days ago and still didn't get any replies from them.

Currently there is not information on how long the beta testing will last and when will it finally be released. Until then, ask for beta access and hope for the best.

Holy shitt, if i'll be able to play PUBG on this toaster i will be more than happy. Hipoteticaly i would probably die sitting on a fucking chair for 50 hours lol

You will, it's just a matter of time till they release it or luck to get into beta testing.

How about streaming - would it effect quality?

This is the best thing to happen in gaming and I hope it gets released quickly after the beta, Can't wait to try this out!

I'll always prefer just investing into a good gaming PC, but I'm happy that a service like this exists for other people. Well written article by the way!

Well some people just don't have that much money to invest in a gaming pc. Thanks!

Ok , this idea is just amazing! it is definitely awesome for people (myself included) that don't have a gaming computer to actually experience games at the best settings out there! I hope this becomes a success!! I am really excited about these news! Thanks for posting it!

It surely will. I feel this is where the big money will be in the future and more companies will offer the same service. Because not many people have 2000$ laying around to make a beastly gaming pc but everyone wants to play the best games at highest settings.

This is ridiculous! And could quite possibly change gaming forever.

I am not a gamer, but I can definitely see the usefulness of this. Just today I spoke with a man about him looking to build or buy his own system. Now I will share this post with him for sure.
