I mean, also the latency issue is realistically not going to go away. Encoding, decoding, error correction, data transfer and routing just take time. If your goal is to play anything that requires fast reactions you'll never be able to use this sort of service unless we come up with a completely different way of transmitting information which I wouldn't bank on.

@@lucasrem OR you can just use a DC 12V to AC 120V inverter/adapter of sufficient wattage and run bog-standard outlets/appliances in automotive/marine applications, like people have been doing for several decades.
Has been entirely possible for a few years, i used to have an i7-4770T with 16gb ram and nvidia 730 low-profile in the trunk of my car. The low-tier gpu mainly to stay on a reasonable power consumption level for a system never intended to go beyond HD movie playback and snes/psx emulation :) besides that it was totally overkill for the purpose :p (120gb ssd boot-drive, 4tb archival harddisk for main media) but it would run fine on a mini 160w "picopsu" which you'd basically stick right into your mobo's 24-pin slot. I used it as my car's main media center back then, along with a 10.4" 1024x600 touchscreen lcd :) simply hooked it up to the radio through RCA.
I have a subscription at Shadow PC and man it’s just amazing with a fiber optic connection I do every everything on it play at maximum settings and for work Everything is smooth and all you need is a good connection , I have only an old laptop and it works fine
The rule is simple, if you want to use any input from any source, that source must output the output as a standard key used for input by a game. If you ue a joystick, convert the output of the joystick (digital) as a key, like forward,backward,side left, side right, as a key press (and hold) on a keyboard. That way all you need to provide is such conversion on a client. For analog stuff, use a base analog support for any device attached to any client, and convert to the standard input of the server. That way, the client does the conversion to server standard and the server only has to inpret said standard. It will then become simple to configure each controller, by the client, while no matter the configuration client side, the server will always receive the same standard.
I've actually tried this. It's pretty damn good. GREAT for remote gaming. everything on ultra settings for a monthly price. Way better than Stadia or any other streaming game platform.
dnbmania Honestly, I was on a wired connection. Didnt really try on WIFI. But I can say, it was minimal. Not enough to complain. But definitely low enough to have a solid gaming session. Surfing the internet was .. watching youtube .. using USB peripherals w the pass through .. it was pretty cool.
No matter if its the "12V only" from the open project ir from intel, it would make using "old" server hardware in the Future sooo much easier (try getting old oem server psu for more special boards, sometimes th3 psu costs 4x the price of the mainboard...) I appreciate the idea, and I love to see this in the future
Personally, I really appreciate the fact that you guys have started uploading earlier than usual. It used to be 1AM for me when you guys used to upload earlier, but now it's 10pm. Now I can strike off watching an LTT video from my to-do list on the previous day itself 😁
For me here in the UK, my TechLinked days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday because it gets uploaded so late, I'm asleep. No problem obviously because I still get my tech news!
I was laughing when Ready Player One had a time where he used a light rig to connect to a more powerful rig to use for their super vr stuff. I know that Google Stadia shows that this tech still needs some fine tuning, but this low profile beefy experience is impressive.
I'd love an LTT episode about how systems like Access Analog work, allowing audio engineers to stream audio to hardware effects units over the web, so you can use the devices without owning them. A bit niche, but there's so much focus on video systems or gaming systems. I think there's enough nerds here, even if they aren't audio engineers, to truly find that kind of content fascinating.
lol no one leaves motion blur on! so i will just blindly assume first thing he did was turn it off. what he means is it takes a few frames (i frames) to get a p frame that contains the real picture. (sharp and with the real details.)
I've been using Shadow for several months now from Canada and have been really impressed. Multiple friends signed up after they tried it. It's similar to youtube style compression in that when you have a ton of fast moving artifacts on screen it compresses then sharpens like Linus said. I've had a great experience using Shadow on my Nvidia Shield on my 4k tv. Did full play-throughs of Fallen Order, Control, NFS Heat, A Way Out, Snowrunner, (most of) Death Stranding, Watch Dogs 2, Detroit Become Human, and Battlefront 2... and all played really really well. Also is really playable for something like Warzone. Huge benefit that most people seem to forget is that they have clients for OSX as well as Windows. Meaning everyone I know who use daily drives a Macbook Pro (which has an excellent display) gets an awesome experience and doesnt have to invest in Windows hardware to have a great gaming exp. You also have an iOS and Android app which is overall a mediocre experience for most games due to the wifi latency, it's still very playable for most, if not all, puzzle games.
I was about to say the same thing. A 10 gig dedicated enterprise connection hooked straight up to a internet exchange. It needs to be tested on a residential connection.
@@albertomanzo5546 I think only their first tier is available in the US. At least for the Dallas data center. The higher tiers might only be available in the EU and probably only from their Gravelines data center in Northern France.
A gaming server that literally does what a regular server does like gives you high ping when you see your opponent and goes down when you die but it has 16.8 Million Colors all around it.
I have a buddy that got into PC gaming via Shadow and he swears by it. Definitely cool tech. Not that I'll be ditching my personal builds for it but its a dope option and an awesome prospect for the future of mobile gaming, literally being able to remote into an incredibly powerful pc and game anything anywhere with a decent internet connection. Science man!
Been a Shadow user since the first LTT video. Managed to get a basic service on the Paris servers. Works AMAZINGLY from UK -> France. I tend to play explore/story games (Tombraider, Far Cry, Witcher3...) so for that it's amazing. Despite teaching Computing (and salary-wise, probably the reason) my desktop PC is 2600K, I built in 2011. I also have a Surface Pro 6 which is great for work, but not a gaming machine by any stretch of the imagination. Shadow has been amazing. I run Adobe Cloud apps (usually Premiere and AfterEffects) on Shadow with amazing success. I use OneDrive sync to transfer video to the shadow, and editing is brilliant. Couldn't recommend it enough - but yes, you do have to be patient. I've been on £25 per month service, now only £13 on Boost while I wait for my Ultra order from November last year to be activated in late Summer (probably September) - not kidding. But patience is worth it! Truly an amazing service, app and performance. Try month free (once activated) using discount code: MATFSXIG
Shadow user for a year now, fully satisfied, awesome service. I have good internet and I’m close to the data center, that helps, but still it’s impressive what they did.
I am a part of the shadow community here in Florida. I have had it since it came out here. It can turn almost anything into a gaming pc. serious. I play crysis on ultra on my shitty hp stream. Its great!
Been using Shadow about 3 months , coming from console player prior trying to get into PC gaming but only had an outdated alienware, I pay $15/mo and immediately am playing brand new AAA games at ultra settings, so awesome. Warning though you need good internet id recommend 100mbps+ hardwired, i use 600mbps and have 0 latency issues.
@@reilandeubank pretty simple to set one up, just need a spare pc and download the free server software for bedrock or java from the Minecraft website. Then just follow the instructions and it should work (may have to open up some ports on your router if you want to play with friends) or just host it on a virtual machine and then it doesn't matter if it gets hacked as it only has Minecraft world data on it.
I hope the 12v standard actually takes off for consumer products. Would be awesome to skip a conversion stage with power backup. Rectifiers -> 12v battery bank -> straight to the PC. In a data centre environment my guess is they are doing 48v or even higher to the racks and the racks have 48 to 12v power converters.
I'm a Shadow customer since the very start in France, i recently had access to my new offer with the RTX 6000 or RTX Titan for public name... It's a freaking beast to use ;)
I love the service! Like said in the video, I use it as my daily driver and it's working flawless. I'm european and am connected to the paris datacenter. For people not able to affort expensive machines, this is the best thing that could heppan to you.
7:28 I did exactly this when a similar fan made a 5mm deep cut down one of my fingernails, and so was rather startled and relieved when he grabbed it without making a bloody mess.
Great review! I ordered my Shadow in April and waited 'til July to get it up and running but I love it and I will definitely upgrade to a higher tier when it's available. I use it every day for gaming and also for work when I need to run something in the background that uses up CPU and would normally slow me down. Also, Shadow lets me run mods on games unlike GeForce NOW and also concurrent apps like VoiceAttack and Elite Dangerous Market Connector.

ATX 12VO, non 12VO board was used here, so they installed a board to do the 5v etc.
lower the coast you need, 12 VO board you need, then you can skip the daughterboard!
@@lucasrem OR you can just use a DC 12V to AC 120V inverter/adapter of sufficient wattage and run bog-standard outlets/appliances in automotive/marine applications, like people have been doing for several decades.
Has been entirely possible for a few years, i used to have an i7-4770T with 16gb ram and nvidia 730 low-profile in the trunk of my car. The low-tier gpu mainly to stay on a reasonable power consumption level for a system never intended to go beyond HD movie playback and snes/psx emulation :) besides that it was totally overkill for the purpose :p (120gb ssd boot-drive, 4tb archival harddisk for main media) but it would run fine on a mini 160w "picopsu" which you'd basically stick right into your mobo's 24-pin slot.
I used it as my car's main media center back then, along with a 10.4" 1024x600 touchscreen lcd :) simply hooked it up to the radio through RCA.
I have a subscription at Shadow PC and man it’s just amazing with a fiber optic connection
I do every everything on it play at maximum settings and for work
Everything is smooth and all you need is a good connection , I have only an old laptop and it works fine
I’ve been using shadow for a month now, I love it, I only wish I had better WiFi.
Ouch! Have to get on wired for all gaming. I would assume, especially for remote gaming.
Have you tried powerline adapters if you can't hardwire

can 10 mbps do the trick?

@@randomrandom316 I like how all the comments are about his channel
The rule is simple, if you want to use any input from any source, that source must output the output as a standard key used for input by a game.
If you ue a joystick, convert the output of the joystick (digital) as a key, like forward,backward,side left, side right, as a key press (and hold) on a keyboard. That way all you need to provide is such conversion on a client.
For analog stuff, use a base analog support for any device attached to any client, and convert to the standard input of the server. That way, the client does the conversion to server standard and the server only has to inpret said standard. It will then become simple to configure each controller, by the client, while no matter the configuration client side, the server will always receive the same standard.
I've actually tried this. It's pretty damn good. GREAT for remote gaming. everything on ultra settings for a monthly price. Way better than Stadia or any other streaming game platform.
What was the latency like?
dnbmania Honestly, I was on a wired connection. Didnt really try on WIFI. But I can say, it was minimal. Not enough to complain. But definitely low enough to have a solid gaming session. Surfing the internet was .. watching youtube .. using USB peripherals w the pass through .. it was pretty cool.
This destroys stadia for sure
"Way better", still required to pay a monthly fee, while Stadia is free.
@@xyo2434 And you can definitely feel how free Stadia is
8:15, please send it back with the virtualization on, and one of us will get this functionnality when you return it back.
No matter if its the "12V only" from the open project ir from intel, it would make using "old" server hardware in the Future sooo much easier (try getting old oem server psu for more special boards, sometimes th3 psu costs 4x the price of the mainboard...) I appreciate the idea, and I love to see this in the future
Personally, I really appreciate the fact that you guys have started uploading earlier than usual. It used to be 1AM for me when you guys used to upload earlier, but now it's 10pm.
Now I can strike off watching an LTT video from my to-do list on the previous day itself 😁
On point.
For me here in the UK, my TechLinked days are Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday because it gets uploaded so late, I'm asleep. No problem obviously because I still get my tech news!
I was laughing when Ready Player One had a time where he used a light rig to connect to a more powerful rig to use for their super vr stuff. I know that Google Stadia shows that this tech still needs some fine tuning, but this low profile beefy experience is impressive.
I'd love an LTT episode about how systems like Access Analog work, allowing audio engineers to stream audio to hardware effects units over the web, so you can use the devices without owning them. A bit niche, but there's so much focus on video systems or gaming systems. I think there's enough nerds here, even if they aren't audio engineers, to truly find that kind of content fascinating.
Careful there son, you're encroaching on my turf!

“When I move they’ll get kind of blurry.”
Playing a game with motion blur
LTT disable motion blur for all the testing they do, and i agree, that thing needs to die
lol no one leaves motion blur on! so i will just blindly assume first thing he did was turn it off. what he means is it takes a few frames (i frames) to get a p frame that contains the real picture. (sharp and with the real details.)
What the other two said: Linus always turns off motion blur, so we'd assume he did the same here.
I would actually turn on motion blur when cloudgaming, because it would hide some of the blockyness
what people?
I've been using Shadow for several months now from Canada and have been really impressed. Multiple friends signed up after they tried it. It's similar to youtube style compression in that when you have a ton of fast moving artifacts on screen it compresses then sharpens like Linus said. I've had a great experience using Shadow on my Nvidia Shield on my 4k tv.
Did full play-throughs of Fallen Order, Control, NFS Heat, A Way Out, Snowrunner, (most of) Death Stranding, Watch Dogs 2, Detroit Become Human, and Battlefront 2... and all played really really well. Also is really playable for something like Warzone.
Huge benefit that most people seem to forget is that they have clients for OSX as well as Windows. Meaning everyone I know who use daily drives a Macbook Pro (which has an excellent display) gets an awesome experience and doesnt have to invest in Windows hardware to have a great gaming exp. You also have an iOS and Android app which is overall a mediocre experience for most games due to the wifi latency, it's still very playable for most, if not all, puzzle games.
how did you get past the zip code ?
Let’s all remember he has a 10 gigabit internet connection
I was about to say the same thing. A 10 gig dedicated enterprise connection hooked straight up to a internet exchange. It needs to be tested on a residential connection.
10gig doesn't matter much, what matters is the latency.
He only has 1 gig for Internet
Even if it was just 1 gig, that’s still exceptionally high compared to your average joe internet lmao
I am using Shadow with a 8mbps connection. It looks pretty decent. What really matters is the stability of your internet connection.
I'm a boost user in California, works great and I'm glad I got on . Wish their ghost was available still though.

I’ve had the Shadow Infinite tier since March and can honestly say that’s it awesome. It’s good to see Shadow getting more exposure.
Wait so you can get it now?
Cuz it seems cool
@@albertomanzo5546 I think only their first tier is available in the US. At least for the Dallas data center. The higher tiers might only be available in the EU and probably only from their Gravelines data center in Northern France.
Ok thx
End of summer in EU for Infinite, i managed to be one of the lucky few who got mine after pre ordering in October

I have a buddy that got into PC gaming via Shadow and he swears by it. Definitely cool tech. Not that I'll be ditching my personal builds for it but its a dope option and an awesome prospect for the future of mobile gaming, literally being able to remote into an incredibly powerful pc and game anything anywhere with a decent internet connection. Science man!

Been a Shadow user since the first LTT video. Managed to get a basic service on the Paris servers. Works AMAZINGLY from UK -> France.
I tend to play explore/story games (Tombraider, Far Cry, Witcher3...) so for that it's amazing. Despite teaching Computing (and salary-wise, probably the reason) my desktop PC is 2600K, I built in 2011. I also have a Surface Pro 6 which is great for work, but not a gaming machine by any stretch of the imagination.
Shadow has been amazing. I run Adobe Cloud apps (usually Premiere and AfterEffects) on Shadow with amazing success. I use OneDrive sync to transfer video to the shadow, and editing is brilliant.
Couldn't recommend it enough - but yes, you do have to be patient. I've been on £25 per month service, now only £13 on Boost while I wait for my Ultra order from November last year to be activated in late Summer (probably September) - not kidding. But patience is worth it!
Truly an amazing service, app and performance. Try month free (once activated) using discount code: MATFSXIG
I just got my Shadow Boost while I saw the tweet about them reviewing their server.
I LOVE SHADOW. I'm moving into a fiber internet area next week, and I can't wait to stream again.
I only got activated on shadow last week, been playing forza arma 3 and cities skylines and they all run great
since i'm not American, and, hence, cannot use shadow, i've been on Geforce now and sincerely, it's been very good so far
@@polytelus ge force now is great especially the free games
Shadow user for a year now, fully satisfied, awesome service. I have good internet and I’m close to the data center, that helps, but still it’s impressive what they did.
I was just looking at them yesterday, and they already had a waiting list setup going BEFORE this video came out.
Yeah but the waiting list was at most two weeks prior to the video.
i see something like this and get excited only to find out later its not available in my country
I am a part of the shadow community here in Florida. I have had it since it came out here. It can turn almost anything into a gaming pc. serious. I play crysis on ultra on my shitty hp stream. Its great!

Been using Shadow about 3 months , coming from console player prior trying to get into PC gaming but only had an outdated alienware, I pay $15/mo and immediately am playing brand new AAA games at ultra settings, so awesome. Warning though you need good internet id recommend 100mbps+ hardwired, i use 600mbps and have 0 latency issues.
0:13 no way, it was so freaking real, I thought Linus did drop some explosive.
damn dude seems like rita is really into you LOL

it's kinda weird
When you said "gaming server" I assumed you meant a game server like Minecraft lol.
I'd like to learn about that
@@reilandeubank not much to learn really...
Same
Eubank31 the did a video where they built their own server, search Linus Tech Tip minecraft server, that will teach you about that.
@@reilandeubank pretty simple to set one up, just need a spare pc and download the free server software for bedrock or java from the Minecraft website. Then just follow the instructions and it should work (may have to open up some ports on your router if you want to play with friends) or just host it on a virtual machine and then it doesn't matter if it gets hacked as it only has Minecraft world data on it.
I hope the 12v standard actually takes off for consumer products. Would be awesome to skip a conversion stage with power backup. Rectifiers -> 12v battery bank -> straight to the PC. In a data centre environment my guess is they are doing 48v or even higher to the racks and the racks have 48 to 12v power converters.

Great review! I ordered my Shadow in April and waited 'til July to get it up and running but I love it and I will definitely upgrade to a higher tier when it's available. I use it every day for gaming and also for work when I need to run something in the background that uses up CPU and would normally slow me down. Also, Shadow lets me run mods on games unlike GeForce NOW and also concurrent apps like VoiceAttack and Elite Dangerous Market Connector.
More people being able to have access to gaming gear with out having to break the bank sounds amazing
