![]() ![]() However, once we moved on from a wired internet connection the experience sours a bit. It is a shame that this is the max resolution and aspect ratio that the service supports, but that's not enough to really knock it, especially at this introductory price. Playing through The Witcher III: Wild Hunt for the gazillionth time is an excellent experience, with Nvidia's servers easily able to handle the game at 1080p with all the settings maxed out, including the dreaded Nvidia Hairworks. ![]() While at home on that fast internet connection though, we don't experience any hiccups at all. Now, full disclosure: so far we've only really played games on the service at home on a gigabit wired internet connection, so if you have a more modest internet connection your experience is definitely going to vary. There are a lot of folks, us included, that are a bit skeptical about streaming's takeover in the world of games, so this is the one thing that Nvidia GeForce Now has to nail if it's going to succeed.Īnd in our experience, it's fine. It's not, like, unusable, but it can be difficult to navigate efficiently.Ī hot topic when it comes to game streaming services these days is obviously going to be performance. The user interface might be the area where Nvidia GeForce Now could use the most improvement. You can adjust streaming quality to favor performance, saving data or a balance between the two, enable Discord integration and toggle a network status indicator. There are some settings you can adjust through the UI, though they aren't super plentiful. GeForce Now practically yelled at us saying "You can't play this game right now." You can only play the game you launch from the GeForce Now app, even if it sends you to the Steam library UI. ![]() Now, we tried to get around this by launching a different game and launching something like Shadow of the Tomb Raider or Final Fantasy XV from there but it failed. Many games from huge publishers like Square Enix and Rockstar Games are simply missing. It's a minor annoyance, to be sure, but if you already own a game on a specific platform and it's available elsewhere, you could be in for some tedium.Īnd, of course, we can't talk about selecting games without mentioning the games that are incompatible with the service. So, we had to quit all the way out and add the game to our library again, but clicked the second option this time, which fortunately was located on Steam. The first one that we added to the account took us to the Bethesda launcher, where we did not own the game and therefore couldn't play it. ![]() For instance, when we tried to add Wolfenstein Youngblood to our account, there were two options that came up. However, this can get a little complicated. Once you add the game you're looking to play, you can launch it, and it will take you to the store it's located on. From there, you'll have to either pick one of the featured games on display or type in the game you're looking for in the search bar at the top of the UI. Rather than being able to launch the service from Google Chrome, you're going to have to install the GeForce Now client. The same can't really be said of Nvidia GeForce Now. One thing that Google Stadia has is a user interface that's easy to use and pleasant to look at, even if it does have some issues. If you want to post any of these, please send us a modmail here and we'll look into it.(Image credit: Nvidia) Design and interface No unapproved self-promotion, petitions, or giveaways. Just please don't be too off-topic to the point you're talking about clothes. While generally this subreddit is about GeForce NOW, we will allow you to talk about games, PC games, and what not. This is and not limited to: posts that keep asking for a game repetitively, posts that ask questions when there is a megathread with a solution to such question and so on. You can view a break down of this rule and our full rules here 3. Follow the Nvidia GeForce Now terms of service Please follow the Rediquette and just use common sense and be civil in the sub. ![]()
