GeForce is PC Gaming - Introducing GeForce NOW for Mac and PC

[TheNorgthas]

No more announcement, no 1080ti

WTF?

$25 for 20 hours (GTX1060), $50 for 20 hours (GTX1080)

Let's use Witcher 3, for example, with an average playthrough of 104hrs for most. That's $60 for the game and approx. $150 or $300 extra to play the game, respectively.

This is for one game. There are many games:
Skyrim
Final Fantasy
Battlefield 1
Call of Duty
etc.

Many games are competitive online that players play a lot and can easily go into the hundreds of hours. So this sounds like it's the best deal for emergencies or people who play very short games with no replay value. Because just playing through one popular title, on average with no 100%, no comploetionist, and not getting everything still adds up to good amount.

Insane waste of money. After paying for 400 hours of gaming, you are left with nothing except $500 wasted and memories of your gaming experiences as well as a pretty high internet bill for all the bandwidth you used.

Instead, take that money and build a budget gaming build that can max out most games at 1080p and have it be yours and play for as long as you like with no fees.

I am interested to learning more of the features for this.

[garrettcorona]

what about using it for blender or cinema 4d

interesting to see how apple laptops/desktops deal with incompatibility issues. does it run a bandcamp (like) app?

Coming from being a Mac user for YEARS it's really cool to see you guys at Nvidia showing them some love. I remember having the hardest time trying to find fun games to play on my Mac, and was probably a big part of why I didn't like PC games until recently when I made my own Gaming PC with Nvidia GPUs. I can see a whole future of kids growing up now with Macs who will have so many more opportunities than I had to enjoy amazing PC games that, before, weren't possible on a Mac. Keep being awesome and brilliant Nvidia and we'll keep supporting you!!

[emho]

do you have to buy the games? this would be great to try games for an hour or two before buying

I am so happy with my GeForce Experience capabilities. Was a bit sad when custom overlays were removed as I thought it was a good idea. But now with YouTube, Twitch and Facebook entering the streaming options, I couldn't be more excited to start streaming with my friends on the social network.

[nehemz]

Won't game streaming from a cloud would increase delay and kill your reaction speed?

[Froany]

LOVE seeing all the new integration your guys are having with the Shield. I've been watching it grow so much in its development. Seriously so stoked to steam with such convenience, and with so many of the services I already have. Keep integrating and being awesome Nvidia and we'll keep supporting you!!

[jordanrivas]

Not sure the price point really makes sense over the long run, but we'll see if it gains traction.

I'm most excited about Geforce Now being available on Mac, now I don't have to make compromises when I want to game!

[ReneeTodd]

Is there going to be an offering for Chromebooks??

[mopandbucket]

Have to say, if this'll enable me to play recent games on my MacBook, I'm going to be pretty hyped for this...

REALLY cool to see you guys working with Mac users. Having been one, myself, for years (only making the switch recently) it's nice to know that Nvidia doesn't discriminate and believes all PCs can be optimized for gaming in their own way. Wish I had you guys a long time ago, but stoked to have you now. Stay awesome guys!!

What are the minimum requirements to run this? I'm assuming this is just streaming. So, does it stream off of my own gaming PC a la Steam Link? Or, is it more like OnLive was and I can run it on Intel on board?

[anthonymohr]

for mac and pc... nice! now to see more for the tablets they sold

[kaiharvey]

The shield TV looks really cool I can't wait to get my hands on one !!!
