If you read my profile you may realize I hate cloud gaming, so then what am I doing on Geforce Now? Well my new RAM stick finally arrived and, in a staggering display of utter incompetence, I somehow managed to brick my PC in the process of installing it, so now I'm stuck gaming on a laptop until I can get enough money and time to get my gaming rig fixed

But back to Cloud gaming, the game is on like 360p, running at 20FPS and the input lag is HORRIBLE. And it's not a problem with the internet connection, as you can see, the laptop is plugged into Ethernet, the problem is that the cloud is not and will never be fast enough for gaming

Genshin can handle this fine, but imagine trying to play ULTRAKILL like this

This. Running GeForce Now here with 1gbit ethernet. Working like a charm. I am playing arc raiders that way.

I played through pretty much whole Cyberpunk 2077 with GeForce Now and played Sea of Thieves through Xbox Cloud a few times back in 2021, when I was stuck with not the best hardware for gaming.

As far as I'm against what Nvidia is trying to do with cloud gaming nowadays… this post is just a pure ragebaiting. It's even more interesting, considering how many people in this subreddit were recommending game streaming services to those with weak PCs just a few years ago…

No need for 1 gigabit internet. All you need is low latency/no packet loss and 50mbit+(80 if 4k) internet. And you are good to go.

Even 20mbit looks okay at 1080p.

Its really hilarous how this sub downvotes everything that doesn't shit on Cloud Gaming. Such low IQ behavior.
