Hertzian56 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 Saw this and thought it might be interesting. It's an NBC blurb here's the link: https://www.notebookcheck.net/4K-60-fps-gaming-at-20-per-month-Nvidia-GeForce-Now-apps-on-Windows-and-macOS-can-now-stream-games-at-4K-resolution-at-a-silky-60-fps.617467.0.html I'm assuming there's some catch there making it not such a good deal but idk. I guess one catch is people not paying attention to the GaaS and forget about being billed every month, end up costing way more than if you just bought a system capable of that and kept it for a few years. That's the trend for everything, I think the schwab guy at WEF openly says this, and of course the ptb want that so there's definitely a thin end of the wedge going on all over. I mean I'm sure there are tiers because I can't imagine someone with a 4k screen and the equipment to stream that wouldn't just get a mid tear gpu even older one like a 2070 and turn down a few things for 4k/60 in a lot of games(==Scratch that it says 3080 tier only==). No mention of ray tracing support from the blurb either. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jaybee83 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 yep, unfortunately thats the way everything is heading towards: everything as a service with recurring monthly payments and no actual real ownership of the product... not sure im a fan of that 🙄 1 Mine: Clevo P751DM "The Dark Knight" (2015) Sharp LQ156D1JW04 UHD matte 15.6" IGZO 8 bit @63 Hz / Intel 9900K @ 4.2 - 5.2 Ghz / Nvidia 980M 8 GB GDDR5 / G.Skill 16 GB DDR4-3800 / Samsung 970 Pro 1 TB / 2 x Samsung 860 Evo 4 TB / Intel AX200 ax+BT / Win 10 LTSC 2019 x64 / 330 W PSU powered by Prema Mod!

Aaron44126 Posted May 7 Share Posted May 7 I haven't tried streaming gaming yet but I have hard time believing that I'd be happy with it... Unlike streaming video where the endpoint client can buffer up several seconds or minutes of video, gaming has to be real time, so there is no room for buffering. Turnaround time from input -> transmit to data center -> run the game -> encode video output (compression artifacts!) -> send back to endpoint/client -> decode and display has to be what, 50 ms or less before you'd start noticing the lag? And no interruptions in the data flow at all. You'd have to have a really solid Internet connection. 1 Dell Precision M6700 (personal) • Dell Precision 7560 (work) • (full specs in spoiler block below) Info posts (Dell) — Dell Precision key posts • Dell driver RSS feeds • Dell Fan Management — override fan behavior Info posts (Windows) — The problem with Windows 11 • About Windows 10 LTSC Spoiler Dell Precision M6700 (personal) Intel Core i7 3820QM ("Ivy Bridge") 4×2.7 GHz, 3.7 GHz turbo, hyperthreading 32GB DDR3-1600 NVIDIA Quadro K3000M 2GB Storage: 1TB system drive (Samsung 860 EVO) 5TB additional storage (Microsoft Storage Spaces) Samsung 860 QVO 4TB Samsung 850 EVO mSATA 1TB Windows 10 (LTSC 2021) 17.3" 1920×1080 display Intel Wi-Fi AX200 (Wi-Fi 6 + Bluetooth) UHD BD-RE drive 97Wh battery Webcam Fingerprint reader Dell Precision 7560 (work) Intel Xeon W-11955M ("Tiger Lake") 8×2.6 GHz, 5.0 GHz turbo, hyperthreading ("Willow Cove") 64GB DDR4-3200 ECC NVIDIA RTX A2000 4GB Storage: 512GB system drive (Micron 2300) 4TB additional storage (Sabrent Rocket Q4) Windows 10 (LTSC 2021) 15.6" 3940×2160 display Intel Wi-Fi AX210 (Wi-Fi 6E + Bluetooth) 95Wh battery IR webcam Fingerprint reader Previous Dell Precision 7530, 7510, M4800 Dell Latitude E6520 Dell Inspiron 1720, 5150 Dell Latitude CPi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hertzian56 Posted May 8 Author Share Posted May 8 All good points, yeah it definitely requires some very fast stable internet, probably metro areas only really. Yeah I wouldn't be interested either but for gamers that have the necessary equipment already and don't want the commitment of a high level gpu cost and could jump out of the need for it within a year or so it seems a pretty decent deal. I guess another thing is that you don't need to have a 4k screen and can just play it at what you have, for 20$ month it would take a while to pay more than what a 3080 would cost you, even a used gpu would still take months to equalize the cost. $240/year, not sure what that would get you in used or new gpus now, I would think you could get at least a 1070 which for 1080p would be fine for high, no rt of course. But no blazing internet needed either and can play any game unlike the limited selection. Maybe get it until prices drop or you find a used or deal that would negate the need for this services who knows. As to the everything as a service model well it matters if you want to trust the ptb dictating to you in pretty much every aspect of life because that's where it will go, from history, especially modern history, this is a terrible idea. They are pretty open about their plans if you look for it and people don't seem to believe them or they're too distracted by consuming or unable to think as to where this is leading, but enough said there.
