I have boost and play GTA 5 ... it runs smooth, clear and at 2k plus resolution on my zfold 3. It's pretty incredible actually. Even my son is impressed and he uses his PS5.
I am currently running GTA v with LSPDFR and loads of scripts and mods and it runs smoothly on Shadow Power with 60 fps. Without mods i reach around 180 fps at most. I am satisfied. For someone that can't afford a game pc straight up. This is perfect
Just wanna say i sold my gaming setup and i just heard about this today and i got the boost subscription and let me say no lagg no nothing mine works like a charm LOVE IT might upgrade later on
The Boost tier is more than enough for my needs as well. Everything runs great and looks beautiful. I replaced my desktop with a $100 NUC after getting Shadow.
Lucky for you. I also try it every few months, But I always had way too high of a lag, to be able to play smoothly. R6, Satisfactory and such are sadly unplayable and give me motion sickness because of it. On GeForceNOW, I never had such problems. But ofc you can't play everything there.
From a active shadow user the only con that drives me insane is the auto shutdown feature, sometimes it shuts down after 10 mins and some days it has auto shutdown after 3 hours
Some things to mention here: - The Shadow Live Chat is with a Bot that is really useless - The Shadow Support is useless... About 1 full day waiting + currently waiting the weekend (since they don't work on weekends) - Take a lot of care while pucharsing, since that depends the Data Center they give you (I got a France Data Center and I have 200ms) Bought the Power Package and I think is wasted money.
i bought the boost package and wasnt happy about the performance(infact my 1070 was the double time better than the p5000 that they gave me , which they called 1080 equivalent, which after a lot of benchmark it was not 1080 equivalent(3dpassmark at 2300 for the p5000 and my 1070 was doing 4300 on the same test), i decide to upgrade, they take my money, they formated all my data of my shadow and gave it back to me without any change in the hardware.... i reach again the support and they have redone the same thing, re-formated the shadow and nothing change in the hardware, after 2 days i finally know that the datacenter where my shadow is, got short on power plan rig, so i will not get my power plan till they got some stock..... and they didnt offer me to refund me , they telll me that my ticket will be put in ''pause'' till they receive stock at my datacenter, and i dont even know when it will receive the hardware, and , i will only get 3 days of free time as compensation for my lost of time.... i asked them a refund and im review bombing every ^place that i can, i feel scammed.
i couldnt justify spending 50 a month on shadow. i understand it lets you play any game from your libary. but geforce now ultimate for 6 months is 100. do the math.
I have subscribed to the base tier, fortunately I got the Quadro RTX rig, so the games are working pretty fine, and for 30 bucks, I think it's a great program. Of course the price is really high, but at least I can access a full computer and the play the games I want. My only problem is the space available, 512 GB is way too low and unfortunately I don't have the money to purchase more space
they gave me a fucking p5000 that perform worst than my 1070.... im sick, its make 3 days that im fighting with the support to have my upgrade that ive paid, and they cant figure out how to give it to me, so i ask for a refund, and still no answer..... shadow is almost a scam in my head for me, its false advertising, they saying 1080 equivalent but you got a p5000 which after i benchmark it , does a 3d passmark score of 2300 against a 1070 with 4400 of the same passmark test....
So I looked this up accidentally when someone selling the G-Force now accounts on eBay, the ultimate tears and the regular tears. That's why it's sold out
I’m curious if this service can handle DaVinci Resolve, as I’ve got a lot of 4K footage I need to "speed warp" and upscale "2x enhance". On my MacBook M1 Pro, it currently takes around 10 hours to process just one minute of footage. I’ve tried Vagon before-DaVinci Resolve runs fine on it, but Topaz Video doesn’t. One thing that frustrated me with Vagon is all the hidden costs. You pay for the subscription, but then you also pay separately for cloud storage in increments (5GB, 50GB, etc.), and even for every GB of upload or download. The GPUs on Vagon are good; rendering the same footage dropped to 12 minutes per clip. But the default machine only comes with 70GB of storage, and they won’t even let you run the machine unless you have enough credit to cover at least two hours of usage. I’m wondering if this service offers a true monthly subscription where you can use it as much as you want, or if it’s still charged by the minute or hour. And is DaVinci Resolve fully compatible with these virtual GPUs? If the subscription isn’t charged hourly, it could be a nice
My only problem with GFN is their lack of AAA games. I recently had the urge to play Skyrim again, but was disappointed to see that it's not available on GFN (same with Fallout 4 too for example).

I "agree" with you by saying to me GFN is the least evil at the moment...it was an awesome service until the last couple of months when overnight games like COD and Apex required to wait minutes for download the shaders at every access and made the games stutter even during a match...until they fix it or allow us to store the shaders into our hard drives I'm not playing anything anytime soon
Has Shadow said anything officially about this decoder issue ? Like at least saying something like "we'll look into it" or anything?... Did they at least acknowledged the issue?
My problem is I have got shadow for 20 on Jan 3 got to use it till Jan 5 then nothing till Jan 7th when I had to reset my system work till the 13th and no system yet. So to me it looks like they stole my money I give 3 months be for I do a review on my channel

Everyone can make mistakes, and if Shadow PC had simply confirmed they messed up, it wouldn’t have been a big deal. But that’s not what happened. My girlfriend paid for the Shadow Boost plan, but she was given the Shadow Discovery system instead, which is a lower-tier service. The system initially had 8 GB of RAM instead of 12, a Core i5 processor instead of the promised Intel Xeon, and less storage than advertised. After contacting support, they sneakily upgraded the system without saying a word, no apology, no acknowledgment, just a quiet fix as if nothing had happened. This kind of deceptive practice crosses the line. Not only was she overcharged, but they didn’t have the decency to admit their mistake. This behavior clearly violates EU consumer protection laws. She was waiting for compensation for the overcharge. Today she received a refund of 2 euros LOLLLL. She should be paid back the amount of time she was using it. Shadow's lack of transparency and the sneaky system switch have left us feeling misled. If you're considering Shadow, be cautious, they seem to lack honesty when it counts.
your girlfriend is lucky, cause im in discussion with the support till 1 week cause ive upgraded, and they didnt gave me my upgrade, in place , they remove all my data (formated the shadow pc) took the money of my bank account to pay the upgrade, and they gave me back the same hardware plan as before. it took 3 days to tell me that my datacenter where my shadow is, run out of stock of the power plan, the one i just paid for, and they will put my ticket in pause till they receive the hardware for the upgrade, and will credit me 3 days of shadow time, but in fact , im a customer since 10 days and i didnt even used the service more than 2 day cause the performance was worst than my own pc on the boost tier, and when ive tried to upgrade to power , they only remove everything and gave it back to me, and take the money.... its the worst support i never have and im still in discussion cause i want a complete refund, im in talking with a consomator protection society, and shadow have no right to do what they have done to me. Even the boost plan is lying, they saying 1080 equivalent(p5000) and in fact a p5000 its slightly better than a 1060ti... i have a 1070 and when i does a 3d test in passmark, i get 4300 with my gtx 1070 and a cpu from 8 years old, and on the boost shadow plan, i got 2300 on the same passmark test.... its false advertising. But 1 thing positive is , i dont feel any latency when i use the shadow i have even if im not using it a lot, ive played enough the 2 first day to see that the latency and the netcode of shadow is great, but , the hardware dont follow at all.

I'm here for the hell divers 2. Currently using Nvidia Now. Playing off my galaxy s23u. Works fine for games dam perfect actually. I use a hdmi cord to the TV and Bluetooth my Xbox controller and destiny 2 plays smooth. But I really want to play he'll divers 2 and I've been looking everywhere for a cloud platform that has it I'm guessing they are completely blocking out anyone other than ps5 or steam real pc players... I hope this shadow pc works going to give it a shot..
It’s not worth it at all to buy shadow vr, I payed $23, I can’t even run Minecraft on low graphics without it being on 24 fps, this honestly sucks, trust me, don’t waste your money like I did..
So i can use this service for 24 hours for straight 30 days? I mean there is no cap like you can play only 8 hrs on gfn for a day like there is a daily limit but is there any cap in thus service or not
@@CloudGamingBattle oh wow gfn also jave unlimited kinda like every 8 hrs I can play the same game once again like bro I think I m getting scammed because in my country they are giving us cap like for 180 hrs they charge me approx 20$ for cloud gaming and usual charges for pc for same is 50$ with gtx 1080 so I think this is a good deal and why you used "technically yes" like I cam play for unlimited ? Like I want to play atleast 8 to 9 hours because my exams are also going to over so I will be free for a month so pls tell is it truly unlimited or not I don't want a daily limit
Is this viable for games like monster hunter world and rise? For 1080p 60fps cause I dont have a powerful laptop but want a viable solution for monster hunter wilds at 1080p at 30fps (I played mh rise switch for a long time I'm used to 30fps)
Hey Can you like install VMware workstation 14 pro, on top of that gaming PC ? like is it Intel VT-x or AMD-V enabled ? Anyone please ? @CloudGamingBattle ??? Any idea👆🏽 ?
Beamn NG with 5 Vehicles on Boost is around 30 FPS. Shadow boost is INSANELY expensive for what it offers. a used Gaming Computer thats better than shadow boost is around 300-400 Euro . Boost is for people who play old games . never tried Power.
@@mohamedaouidat if you already have gta 5 you can use your gta 5 if not its like if you have your pc you have to buy your game, its normal... but what you already own, you an use it on shadow, like your steam's game, or any game rom launcher you just have to use your luancher (steam for ex) in your shadow, and you will be able to install all your stea game, so if you have gta its the same, if you didnt, you have to buy it. when you buy a physical pc you didnt get game with.... not anymore, we were back in 90's and early 2000, but its something that didnt exist much now a days
Btw this is super cheap for mr idk why you guys are thinking this is expensive like bro I pay 5k inr which means approx 50+$ and for 240 hrs only with a limit of 8 hrs daily so it's cheap for me and btw we can use this for 24 hrs right? Like there is no cap?

I used to emulate Nintendo Switch game on Shadow, some games managed to run at 8k so yeah any game is possible on Shadow except a few with very restrictive kernel based anti cheats that bans virtual machines. If you have a good ISP and good data plan Shadow is very good
@@CloudGamingBattle I thought it could have been possible that the only way to cloud game on it was on GeForce now so I guess I'll try it when I get Shadow power upgrade hopefully I can do that next month I can do it next month because my my aunt paid off one of my loans and now I can afford to get it
@@CloudGamingBattle I also want to play RL craft and Grand theft Auto v 5 online and p a l world should Shadow power upgrade be powerful enough to play all of those as well?
I've tried that game on their highest power subscription. It runs at full graphics with a little bit of stuttering, but it's pretty good. If you're looking to play that, I would suggest their Shadow Gaming PC on their highest subscription. I think it's the Power one. - Hope this helps!
I used this over a year ago and it was fine for awhile but eh got a pc instead during that time it took a month or longer for orders if u was lucky it would be only a week or lower had mines in 3d and some took 5 months 😭

I immediately get an error message stating that Marvel Rivals does not work on virtual machines. I am requesting a refund now, but not sure if I will get one.
Unfortunately, more publishers are catching on to the cloud gaming trend and are limiting their games to only certain providers. Shadow is getting less relevant all the time.
@@RayoSombrio78 I bought the service and it doesn't work, I asked the support 10 message and they did not do anything to fix it. They also won't refund me because they are scammers.
Poor decoding streams and pretty old cards. Really poor value for gaming. However, as a service for accessing Windows it's okay. I feel that's their market now. For gaming, they're far behind GFN, in my opinion.
Would it be nice for general AI work, like upscaling with Topaz? I tried Azure (but only the free tier) and I'm on Paperspace currently, with a Quadro P4000 rig and that runs nicely. (Upscales in seconds compared to my i5-8400 desktop with Intel iGPU.)

I'm here for the hell divers 2. Currently using Nvidia Now. Playing off my galaxy s23u. Works fine for games dam perfect actually. I use a hdmi cord to the TV and Bluetooth my Xbox controller and destiny 2 plays smooth. But I really want to play he'll divers 2 and I've been looking everywhere for a cloud platform that has it I'm guessing they are completely blocking out anyone other than ps5 or steam real pc players... I hope this shadow pc works going to give it a shot..

I have the essential shadow pc and can not get it update drivers at all
Why did you never disclose that this was sponsored or at least affiliated?
It’s not. We got signup links after this video was made
Is it possible to play on Roly Play server GTA-V on this cloud PC? RAGEMP MAJESTIC AND GTA 5 RP ?
Yea why not
Question:
Can i run a game 24/7 ? Without having my physical pc on?
I don't recommend running the game 24/7. They will flag your account
How to i make a ticket i went into support and searched this and couldn't figure it out
Login to your account on the website and hit the support tab
Are maximum settings Is it good?in 2024?
Haven’t tried yet
No, just tried it. Horrible for gaming.
I switched to shadow and quite pleased with boost.
No, there are games like Alan Wake 2 that don't run fine
It’s not worth it at all to buy shadow vr, I payed $23, I can’t even run Minecraft on low graphics without it being on 24 fps, this honestly sucks, trust me, don’t waste your money like I did..
Can a program be left running for 24 hours without closing when I exit the app?
No
So i can use this service for 24 hours for straight 30 days? I mean there is no cap like you can play only 8 hrs on gfn for a day like there is a daily limit but is there any cap in thus service or not
Technically yes. Also, GFN doesn't have a daily limit. A session limit yes but then you can just start again.
@@CloudGamingBattle oh wow gfn also jave unlimited kinda like every 8 hrs I can play the same game once again like bro I think I m getting scammed because in my country they are giving us cap like for 180 hrs they charge me approx 20$ for cloud gaming and usual charges for pc for same is 50$ with gtx 1080 so I think this is a good deal and why you used "technically yes" like I cam play for unlimited ? Like I want to play atleast 8 to 9 hours because my exams are also going to over so I will be free for a month so pls tell is it truly unlimited or not I don't want a daily limit
@@CloudGamingBattle so gfn free tier I can play as much as I want after every 1 hr session break?
@@Yolmaol There is no daily limit for both
@@CloudGamingBattle wow so I can play as much as I can o gfn after a session break out of 1 br
for me that locked mouse thing doesnt work
Locked mouse thing?
When connected to your Shadow machine, hit Win+Alt+M to release the mouse. Then it acts just like a locally hosted VM.
Is this viable for games like monster hunter world and rise? For 1080p 60fps cause I dont have a powerful laptop but want a viable solution for monster hunter wilds at 1080p at 30fps (I played mh rise switch for a long time I'm used to 30fps)
Power Upgrade at 1080p probably.
Hey Can you like install VMware workstation 14 pro, on top of that gaming PC ?
like is it Intel VT-x or AMD-V enabled ?
Anyone please ?
@CloudGamingBattle ??? Any idea👆🏽 ?
Haven’t tried
@@CloudGamingBattle Please update me once you try, I mean can you try if you've got one of those PC ?.. 🙏
Beamn NG with 5 Vehicles on Boost is around 30 FPS.
Shadow boost is INSANELY expensive for what it offers.
a used Gaming Computer thats better than shadow boost is around 300-400 Euro .
Boost is for people who play old games .
never tried Power.
when we have a shadow subscription, will we have for example gta V for free to launch it in the shadow?
No. You have to own your games as mentioned in the video
so i have to buy the games i want to launch on shadow?
@CloudGamingBattle does that mean I have to buy games like GTAV to be able to launch them on shadow gaming?
Yes. This is like your own cloud PC. Please watch the whole video
@@mohamedaouidat if you already have gta 5 you can use your gta 5 if not its like if you have your pc you have to buy your game, its normal... but what you already own, you an use it on shadow, like your steam's game, or any game rom launcher you just have to use your luancher (steam for ex) in your shadow, and you will be able to install all your stea game, so if you have gta its the same, if you didnt, you have to buy it. when you buy a physical pc you didnt get game with.... not anymore, we were back in 90's and early 2000, but its something that didnt exist much now a days
For unlimited time?
Unlimited time? Play session? Yes
I mean like gfn have 6 hrs per day so i mean that i can use pc for 24×7×30 days?@@CloudGamingBattle
Btw this is super cheap for mr idk why you guys are thinking this is expensive like bro I pay 5k inr which means approx 50+$ and for 240 hrs only with a limit of 8 hrs daily so it's cheap for me and btw we can use this for 24 hrs right? Like there is no cap?
I would like to try shadow but not in my region
what about playing in android?
What about it?
@@CloudGamingBattlethank you for replying CGB.. i mean is it the same as playing on pc? its my first time hearing about cloud gaming 😀
It is similar but the app might not be as intuitive

Can you play any game on here?
Just about. Make sure you watch the full video for more info
I used to emulate Nintendo Switch game on Shadow, some games managed to run at 8k so yeah any game is possible on Shadow except a few with very restrictive kernel based anti cheats that bans virtual machines.
If you have a good ISP and good data plan Shadow is very good
I tried Shadow for a month, I don't think it's worth the price in my opinion.
Can I Run 1080p At 120Hz An If So Will It Runn Good On 5G Wifi
Depends on the game. You’ll have to test your 5G
will the power upgrade run Garry's mod on at least medium settings possibly high?
Yea why not? That’s Half Life 2. It’s 20 years old lol
@@CloudGamingBattle I thought it could have been possible that the only way to cloud game on it was on GeForce now so I guess I'll try it when I get Shadow power upgrade hopefully I can do that next month I can do it next month because my my aunt paid off one of my loans and now I can afford to get it
To be honest, you can probably do it with Shadow Boost. You probably don't need the Power Upgrade
@@CloudGamingBattle I also want to play RL craft and Grand theft Auto v 5 online and p a l world should Shadow power upgrade be powerful enough to play all of those as well?
Yep
i just wanna play roblox emergency response liberty county, it’s laggy on my elitebook 840 or watever i have.
I've tried that game on their highest power subscription. It runs at full graphics with a little bit of stuttering, but it's pretty good. If you're looking to play that, I would suggest their Shadow Gaming PC on their highest subscription. I think it's the Power one.
- Hope this helps!
I used this over a year ago and it was fine for awhile but eh got a pc instead during that time it took a month or longer for orders if u was lucky it would be only a week or lower had mines in 3d and some took 5 months 😭
don't get it, my mouse doesn't correspond and windows is basically unuseable because of that
What device are you on?
laptop with ubuntu, but I have really bad wifi so that's why@@CloudGamingBattle
@@CloudGamingBattle I have a very strange issue with shadow. It works perfectly anywhere with internet on my phone and laptop, but only if the laptop is using the web browser. The shadow app on my ubuntu laptop doesn't work right and the mouse is laggy
Could this run warzone?
Yes
No
I bought a 3-month subscription thinking that any game would work. I needed it because my gaming PC doesn’t meet the minimum specifications required for Marvel Rivals. I immediately get an error message stating that Marvel Rivals does not work on virtual machines.
I am requesting a refund now, but not sure if I will get one.
Unfortunately, more publishers are catching on to the cloud gaming trend and are limiting their games to only certain providers. Shadow is getting less relevant all the time.
Hey if you play Fortnite and have it downloaded on shadow tier pc is it good performance?
@@Reaper-t3nIt is fast enough for Fortnite in most of the US. I don’t notice any delay 99% of the time. I feel like I am playing it on a regular PC.
@@Turkey_Hill What's the average frames per second.
@@Turkey_Hill And what tier do you have?
Can I play dark and darker on it please?
You can play any game
@@RayoSombrio78 I bought the service and it doesn't work, I asked the support 10 message and they did not do anything to fix it. They also won't refund me because they are scammers.
@@caballarius503 you are right, the games aren't working fine. I switched to GFN, the performance is much better.
@@caballarius503 What issues have you encountered? Because I dont have any on the boost tier.
the only game i paid it for aka dark and darker dont work and they dont refund me@@SanyikaSzabó-e9w
has anyone used this for VR and/or Shadow VR?
Not yet
Poor decoding streams and pretty old cards. Really poor value for gaming. However, as a service for accessing Windows it's okay. I feel that's their market now. For gaming, they're far behind GFN, in my opinion.
I can’t play gta or gtaiv anymore it always bugs then I can’t play it even with Roblox
Yh but more games are compatible with shadow pc
Would it be nice for general AI work, like upscaling with Topaz?
I tried Azure (but only the free tier) and I'm on Paperspace currently, with a Quadro P4000 rig and that runs nicely.
(Upscales in seconds compared to my i5-8400 desktop with Intel iGPU.)
@Stxckz1p weird... I have the boost teir and I run gta 5 seemless and completely smooth. I live about 35 miles from the data center tho. My internet is lighting fast as well, consistently 400mbs up and 20is down, ping under 30. I'll be upgrading to power when gta 6 goes to PC
@@jacebakerjacegta v Is over 10 years old with the poor gpu they have it won’t run gta 6 well it struggles with RDR2
i just switched to geforce now from shadow and the difference is night and day can finally play without ethernet no lag and looks 10x better plus i can play the finals
But shadow can almost play any pc game that’s the reason why i’m getting it soon
is there more latency delay then GeForce?
@IShowclips0000 no geforce now has less latency for me and runs alot smoother looks like I'm running them native forget I'm using cloud
@koa7407 yea they always have server maintenance every week tho lol there servers are bad compared to geforce now many times I've looked forward to going on to play with friends and shadow servers are down
@@KyleTV1234 where do you live btw? I heard they have only 1 server in Europe which is France so I wanna know where u frm bc I wonder if I will like that
Ok this is good but plz don't glitch it out to get it for free iff you do it you will now why
what?
Can i play fivem?
It's been reported that it has problems
@@CloudGamingBattle so I understand that I can't play?
I haven’t tried personally. Check the Shadow forums for details for those who have.
@@CloudGamingBattle ok, thanks
You can
can it run steamvr
?
Yeah both can, I could play every game I own on either tier but I upgraded anyway and love it. Can run almost everything on ultra
Tysm
Hello! Can I run Unreal Engine 5.4 on the Power option??
Thank you Sr!
can u review the new tier i saw it on my home page before i was going to buy power i forgot whats its called but it said it had a rtx 4000 series gpu
Not sure what you are talking about
if you can afford super fast internet you can afford good pc
Not necessarily. All you need is about 100 mbps for this to run well. Plus, many aren’t looking for maintaining their hardware.
Does this work when when I am in Africa ?
You can try. No promises
Shadow its way too expensive
It’s the lowest monthly cloud pc on the market. th-cam.com/video/1QvXbWWvrhM/w-d-xo.htmlsi=Dz-8XFV9l5O1hStl
Thanx to your video i found shadow power have saved me
Roblox?
Not anymore
I can use shadow in Saudi Arabia
You can try
Oh
They almost go bankrupt, get hacked, and still think it was smart to diss Stadia on Twitter. Like they could end up the same as stadia soon lol
Yea I saw that. I decided to leave it alone since there were plenty of Ls already
GOD BLESS, JESUS LOVES YOU.
Horrible service.
