      True Marcus, but BelgePowaaa kevin is still right. You can get a WAAAAY better laptop than a fucking macbook, if you want mobility and good gaming performance. I do realise that it's not the actual computer running the games, but the input lag is still a horrible experience compared to the actual laptop playing.

      Bartlomiej Milewski Not really, GTX 1080 (what gefore now performance equates to) costs £500, so depends how much Nvidia charges the service you can get to play for 2-3 years for that price, with the added benefits of stop renewing and upgrade to future generation card for free.
      Whereas if you buy the 1080 and 2-3 years later you have to pay extra £200-300 to sell and buy the new generation card

      it can actually be a reality for older games like ps2 or ps1 because most of them run at 360p 30fps but when you want to stream something at ultra settings/4k/144hz it's really asking too much from current internet speeds

      I imagine that though internet speed will increase like 500mbps hell 1000 or 5000 Mbps in next 10-15 years , the gpu power will also increase which would be better than playing through streaming services ,
      For example in future -if u get very very ultra settings from geforce in like 100 units money
      U will get same graphics with ur PC in lesser overall money like the case that is now present in 2017 , so sane thing will be there , GPU is Gonna prevail like infinite time ,

      I just played Cities Skylines, lag wasn't a problem, but you don't have to react fast with this game... I guess the lag would be too much if you're playing first person shooters...
      Edit: sometimes, randomly, it drops all frames for like a second. I have an internet connection of 500 Mb/s up and down, so that's not a problem.

    @kaixiwei4009 7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    I will definitely give a YES to 15$/mo, it’s only 180$/yr and 900/5 yrs, as far as I know GTX 1080 (Gigabytes ) is going to cost you roughly CAD$ 650 without tax on Amazon. Despite the cost of other hardwares like CPU, motherboard, hard drive and so on, you are still most likely going to update your video card in about five years just to catch up with those famous games. Many gamers I know wouldn’t even wait for five years to update their hardwares. So the idea of cloud gaming actually attracts me a lot.

  • @Ruben-xj6eg
    @Ruben-xj6eg 7 ปีที่แล้ว +13

    The concept is great, but don't get too excited yet. I have a 2017 13 inch macbook pro and I was running geforce now with lan. (tried it this very hour) My internet speed and stability is more than good enough to be able to run nvidia now properly. Yet my experience was far from perfect. The game I was playing was pubg. The input lag is very, very noticable. Small mouse movements won't register correctly and the overal input lag makes the game feel like you're running it at 20fps. The concept is amazing but it's far from a powerful desktop replacement. Hopefully they will be able to reduce the input lag in the future, otherwise I don't think this is ever going to be a desktop replacement for more serious gamers.

    • @Thetechchap
      @Thetechchap  7 ปีที่แล้ว +3

    • @Ruben-xj6eg
      @Ruben-xj6eg 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I like this concept. I am a person who is into macbook pros but I like some gaming. Let me repeat...SOME gaming. I simply hate how people be like “pc does better gaming at half price” and all of that. Me personally, I’m not much of a gamer, and I don’t want expensive specs just for games. I just want the expensive specs from macbook pros because I also do (and will do a lot more in college next year) coding and acadamic work. The high end macs are meant for professionals who need power like video designers and even scientists and engineers, and I am part of that intending professional. But yes, as you can see with my avatar, I do play minecraft, and it’s just a medium-end game. If I want to play high-end games, which I occasionally do, then yes, I like this concept explained in the video that I could use.

      Probably a Logitech G703 with a USB-C to Micro B cable. They sell a cable that looks just like that on Amazon for about $10 USD by Cable Matters.

    I have GeForce… And I am playing squad… On my MacBook… With my Xbox one X controller connected via Bluetooth… I am finally able to play good PC games on my “Macbox Pro”.
    Completely worth the subscription cost for me. And I’m running squad on 1080 P and Epix settings. Everything but the textures is turned up all the way. The texture is a set on high instead of epic. It runs amazing and I have very little lag using an ethernet cable.

    I've used this on my iMac and its pretty insane that its even a thing. That being said, while the input lag doesn't make it unplayable, it does mean you will have a significant and annoying disadvantage in any PVP game.

    So I've been able to mess up GeForce now already XD. I went into offline mode on Steam (that shows up when I wanted to launch Warframe). At first it worked totally fine, then when I quit it and then launched it again I realised that I'm stuck with the box asking whether I want to stay in offline mode or not and I can't click anything.
    Update: Turns out It was because I had my controller plugged in. The mouse showed up again after unplugging and restarting it.

      If you're talking about the setup that goes on after clicking launch on a game, yeah it takes ages for me every time too, really annoying. I'm sure they'll improve it over time though.

      Yes but there is no point in comparing desktops to laptops, besides dual 1080Tis alone don't have the performance of a Mac, you still need to buy other components.
      This is potentially revolutionary for laptop users (or some desktops) as the price for a capable graphics card in a laptop is hugely expensive, it might be worth it to just subscribe to GeforceNow and get the same performance for cheaper, and less power draw and heat too. I think you really are missing the point.

      Righty. I downloaded it and have played some Elder Scrolls Online and Cities Skylines. For some reason it is very blurry. If I don't move in ESO and just stand there for a few seconds, the screen goes sharp and looks great. But when I start moving around, the resolution seems to noticeably drop.
      My internet connection isn't very fast and I only have a 2.4 Ghz router so I am guessing this might be why.

  • @Lucas-tb6ty
    @Lucas-tb6ty 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    I have 200 Down, 25 Up, and it is extremely inconsistent for me. I've been trying overwatch, fortnite, PubG, H1, and CSGO on this, and while the FPS is always amazing even with maxed out settings, I get a LOT of random lag spikes. Sometimes every time I hit my mouse 1 the game freezes until I let go of the button. Other times all my input is incredibly delayed, and I'll be running into walls for 15 seconds. Then there are times when it plays 100% flawlessly, and I have no issues whatsoever. In the current state of this service I certainly would not pay for it, but if they can improve it further to avoid those issues, then I mean this is awesome. No more running bootcamp to play on 50 fps with lowest settings. No more dropping down to 20 frames when taking a gunfight in csgo. This has serious potentioal .

    Anyone remembers OnLive back in 2010 or so? Pretty much the same service. I used to play high-end games like Mafia 2 and Just Cause on a NetBook (some old Lenovo netbook) and I was really upset when they closed down. The experience was more than decent - any game in seconds and on high graphics with 60fps on any hardware. So, I'm really excited about it. But, as he mentioned - good internet connection is mandatory.

    I've had this service on my nvidia Shield TV for some year now. And yes, its good, but please keep in mind that you have to buy some games (newer games). Even if you pay for the subscription. And you have to keep paying for the subscription in order to play the game that you bought.

  • @CBSlug

    This practically rids the need of a physical gpu, and cpu.

It’s cool but... I can’t help but feel pretty bummed, I think physical parts are awesome

  • @lee50505223
    @lee50505223 7 ปีที่แล้ว

    Best part is that you can use your steam account for it so you don`t have to buy games for additional 60$ plus monthly subscrition. For someone like me who have like 200~300 games on their steam account and only owns macbook, this can be a best option possible. But to make it widespread service, the price have to be resonable and should price by month. Not by times you use the service.

  • @ZeoWorks

    "$15 dollars a month",
    They're actually going to be charging per hour.
    Pricing starts at $25 for 20 hours of play on a GTX 1060 PC, or 10 hours of play on a GTX 1080 PC
    Unless they change their compensation model to monthly, this is going to fail.

    I think this company has stumbled upon the future.
    Cloud based high quality gaming.
    If it means you don’t have to buy lots of expensive gaming equipment and cooling systems etc. This is a major win.
    High speed internet and a fast computer being the only requirements is great.
    This could make Laptop gaming better than even Xbox One X or Acer Predator options.
    A subscription service which does the hard work for your laptop is great.
    This company if done right could be as big as Netflix. Hopefully this means an affordable monthly subscription.
