Strange, when i played Witcher 3 it was nowhere near 10gb. It's not installing on your PC anyway it's on their server as far as i understand.
Tried it and subscribed. I was able to play Dark Souls 3 on my phone and my older laptop pretty well. Tried also Spyro trilogy and ran very well. Input lag is definitely there (laws of physics) but it's minimal for me.
For the record I am in Canada, on a 250/20 connection. I was monitoring traffic while playing and it was pulling down a steady 30-40Mbps during gameplay.
Pretty impressed so far. This will complement all my other game platforms.

Unfortunately every game I want to try isn't on there.
But not surprised it's good. Been using Parsec on and off and it's been flawless.
So I'm sure this will be nice.
Having access to the new GPUs when they launch is very sweet too.
I do wonder how it will clash with Gamepass/xCloud eventually though.
Say if I want to play the latest MS game, I'd rather pay 5 bucks to MS than Geforce since I'd have to pay the full game.

So do I need my PC up and running for this to work? My PC is currently at a repair store as I couldn't figure out the issue and if this lets me access my games while it's out then I'm in.
Anyone in the UK not getting great performance despite having decent internet?
I'm in London and I've got a 60mb fibre optic connection, which the stadia checker said would be enough for 4k 60fps
I've tried a couple of games on Geforce Now and it said I'd only be able to get 720 resolution on my connection. The latency was pretty decent with Metro Last Light, terrible resolution though

No. The games are being rendered on Nvidia Servers and the video feed streamed to your device (Android Phone/Tablet, windows or macOS PC)
All the games I've tried have defaulted to 720p. Once I change them to 1080p they get sharper.
I had this problem in assassin's creed - very annoying
yes, you can play HL 1 & 2 on this for free
Yeah, I'm similar. Sometimes. Sometimes when I log on it'll only let me stream 800p with my 80Mb connection. Other times it'll give me 1080p. I can get 4k/60 on Stadia with this.
Is this capable of 4K or capped at 1080p? If it does 4K I might use this as a stop-gap solution before the next gen Nvidia cards arrive. At 1080p I might do some RTX.
I have 200mb Virgin Media and it runs like trash on my MacBook Pro 2019 connected to 5GHz WiFi.
It really is.
I have not found one single game where RTX can be activated so far.
-Metro Exodus doesn't let me change settings (they do not save and game needs to restart to change them)
-Shadow of the Tomb Raider is not available
-Control is not available
Maybe Wolfenstein Youngblood, but I'm not spending 30€ to try it out.
That sucks, I'll wait for it to work then. Do you have the paid version? Seems like it's needed for RTX.
Yeah, got it from GOG a while back.
yes
Do you guys know if the playtime & trophies while streaming Steam are supported?
If I play a game from Steam via GeForce Now, would the playtime count normally?

I think it's just like logging in with your Steam account on another PC, so they should work. Cloud saves work for sure.
Missed the part where you're limited to 6 hours for a session. I guess it's not so bad since you can start a new session afterwards, but it's kinda weird. I don't think any other platform does that. The closest I can think of is PS4's Share Play being locked to an hour per session.
There's already several streamed games on the switch. Nintendo only cares about the cut and far as Geforce now is concerned Nintendo wouldn't be seeing a penny from the way it's currently implement.
Yep. I have 75mb/s fibre and while I can stream from Shadow at either 1440p or 4K 60fps, the GeForce now video looks like it's sub-720p despite me setting it at 1080p and allowing the client to saturate my connection.
EDIT: This is on a MacBook Pro as well.
I think never with that whole 30% cut thing they have in their store rules...and you buy games on Steam etc. which they wouldn't see a penny from including the monthly Geforce Now subscription.
When out on a limb and purchased Disco Elysium to test on it this morning. Been playing on my Mac book pro (UK Virgin Media 300mbs). I've had some slight lag but only for a second or so.
This is perfect for a Dad who is unable to spend X amount of hours locked away on gaming on a PC. Tempted to purchase the Founders service.

You get 90 days free and can cancel before the first charge, so no risk. They are cutting the deal as soon as they have a specific amount of subs

I couldn't find it in the search but it showed up in the carousel of featured content on the main page of the pc client and let me add it from there.
I play Disco Elysium on a Surface Pro 5 (2017) and its barely playable - looking forward to test it on GeForce Now!
i cant have dualshock 4 to work on geforce now in android. android see it, but geforce now up dont.
I played Destiny last night on my S9 with a DS4. Maybe it's game specific?
Weird. I've been a beta tester since the beginning, and I swear those PCs we used were more powerful than the ones I'm using now, as a founders account.
