>Bring your favorite PC* games to life at max settings, with smooth framerates—all powered by GeForce® GTX GPUs in the cloud. All you need is a good internet connection, and to be located in North America or Europe**. Currently only available for Mac users.
You've been able to do with for years with Azure/AWS VMs if you just followed a tutorial.

So, how much lag can we expect? 60ms at best? And what do they offer? 60fps 1080p ultra?
Ryder Thompson
Define good internet connection.
Tyler Edwards
Normies are too dumb to do that.
Nathan Foster
Cloud gaming has been a thing for quite a while now.
Grayson Long
Not Australia
Bentley Sanders
>60ms Can't see why it would be that bad. You can easily get 5ms to a nearby datacenter if you have say a 100 MBit line.
Last time I looked into this sort of thing 30 MBit was recommended. The problem isn't the connection on your end though, it's what the clouds charge for pushing that much data through their own network.
Connor Brown
who the fuck is it that keeps paying for these subscription cloud gayming things they are so fucking terrible

>1080p ultra 60fps for mac users powered by NVIDIA Titan XPs for free
HAHAHAHAHAHA PCTARDS BTFO FOREVER
Aiden Perry
At 1$/hr, I would have spent over 10,000$ not including buying the games for the past 4 years
Ryan Butler
So how does this work? Do I have to own the games? Will overwatch work?
Jacob Perez
>he thinks it's going to be free when it isn't in beta and you aren't doing NVIDIA's QA for them
Xavier Hall
how the fuck does this work nigga does your isp send frames
Owen Rivera
the same as twitch plays pokemon. They stream you the game and take inputs from you.
Eli Garcia
Hope you like massive input lag, macturds.

Theres also ways to do this with Citrix and VMWare using special NVidia and AMD cards. Mainly it gets used for Virtual CAD workstations but it could easily be used for games.
Dylan Murphy
Just testing it on shadow of war.
The latency is small, but it's obvious and there. I still don't see this being a competitor to having a real machine.
Also, even on 2x res and all ultra, the compression is making everything look worse.
Hudson Cruz
aaaaahahaaaha itoddlers btfo can't even mod cp onto skyrim. is apple stock a true measure of human retardation

Macfag can't upgrade the videocard? They are tied with the same old videocard forever? >F

This is a good review. You're used to the eccentricities of Steam, but it really didn't have a great user experience in 2010 and it still doesn't. On any platform.
John Perez
Just tried this out and its pretty good
lol @ merds who are salty calling this shit, its pretty amazing tbhh

You don't buy Nvidia for macs because Nvidia blows for opengl
Dylan Kelly
lel.
Joseph Torres
I love you so much user.
Lincoln Davis
Well they can't use GeForce cards because Nvidia is artificially restricting the driver installer from running in VMs.
Carson Ross
You should benchmark those Teslas.
Tyler Peterson
What are the response times like?
Julian Carter
It's only for OSX because X is a network protocol and NT sux0rz
Adam Richardson
Played some Dishonored. rtd started around 25ms and was down to 16ms when I finished; it felt fairly responsive regardless of this value, but this is about the fastest paced game I would want to play like this. It doesn't do 1440p streaming, and although the picture doesn't look terrible it's nowhere near as crisp as it is when running locally.
The various quality indicators went up and down (they were actually more erratic when rtd was lower, oddly enough) but I didn't really notice any actual video freezing or judder as a result, only very occasional audio skipping.
Overall, it was good enough that I could forget it was streaming and immerse myself in the game and I guess that's the most important test. However it was a notable downgrade from local play even on my modestly specced machine.
I was playing on a GPON FTTP connection in the south of Scotland, with 70-73Mbit typical downstream and 12-14ms typical rtt to London. Ethernet to my desktop.
Gavin Morgan
>FTTP >73Mbit
hahahahahahahahaha
Brayden Davis
>Mac fags have to rely on fucking windows server 2012 to play games ahahahahahaahah
Jaxon Turner
I'm being a cheapskate, because that's all I really need. There are 300+Mbit packages available if I wanted them.
Henry Myers
Problem is that you get logged off after a few minutes if you don't launch the game exe

Andrew Wood
how do i add mod organizer or smth to skyrim in that?
Cooper Roberts
Do I need to own games and log into steam or something? Or do they have default library to try?
Sebastian Brooks
yeah you have to own the game. it downloads instantly tho
Dylan Cook
No free games, if you dont own the game steam doesn't even launch
Parker Ward
The games are preinstalled in the VM Also after you successfully launch a game, it will not let you use the steam GUI after that
