I know Nvidia doesn't work on Gamestream anymore, but I would love to see this type of VRR support implemented in Moonlight/Sunshine.
Moonlight with sunshine works with vrr but the funny thing is the client has to use an AMD GPU for decoding.
I've used the 4080 tier service for the past couple of months, and it's pretty incredible when it works. There was a 2-3 week period when I kept getting kicked off the servers despite no problems on my end, but I haven't had any trouble lately. It's also a bit buggy: there's an option to keep your game settings between play sessions, but if I use it I get constant screen tearing no matter what I do. Once I uncheck that option, however, the problem clears up. I can also confirm that playing with a gamepad hides a lot of latency (I have reflex enabled as well). I'm still rocking a 6700k with a GTX 1080, so to have access to a high end rig to play Cyberpunk with path tracing is amazing.
Really hard to say it's not on your end. I've been through this myself when blaming servers when sometimes my ISP is having issues and working 99% of the time, but just enough issues at the 1% to cause drops whether it be something like Warframe or even streaming/KZhead. WIFI in general can cause moments of interference or drops as well. There's just so many factors, but very easy to point the finger and blame the receiving network automatically. Since packets often travel different paths to reach a destination, it can even be one path out of many that just isn't up to snuff and is enough to kick you as data isn't coming together. Many times have I assumed it was the server down or having issues until looking it up and finding out it's just me and I'm having some instability somewhere. Even a VPN left on through tunneling causes issues. Many times a simple shut down of the router and booting it back up fixes the instability as it can have issues in the routing tables and needing a flush to re update them.
This is why it will not take off for the majority.
Putting game pass on geforce was a stroke of genius, playing games like Starfield, Remnants 2 and Diablo 4 on a 4080 is a real treat.
HDR needs to be encoded with a 10 bit color codec to smooth out the color banding artifacts. Macroblocks are still there
When it works, and in my experience the past 4months or so it usually does, it's a pretty amazing service. It will likely be awhile before it pleases the biggest pixel peepers out there. But for 99% of people, it's quite amazing. Could definitely see this, or something similar being the future of PC gaming.
Twitch still hasn't pushed out AV1 support. Think it's in beta
I've been with GeForce NOW in Australia since they first launched a private beta. It's amazing! Geforce NOW + Handheld and/or Chromebook. The best value gaming experience anywhere. It literally looks and feels like it's running from a local system.
It's a shame ours is governed by pentanet and there's no 4080 in sight.
@@Mantenner Yeah I was hoping for the 4080 upgrade, but I guess we will probably receive that, just prior to the 5080 US rollout?
@@aussieanon-369 mate, you won't believe this. They literally just upgraded to 4080s. They must have seen our conversation haha.
@@Mantenner yeah I know!!!! Fricking awesome!!! Now, if we could only win the CloudGG VIP desktop PC this month
Let’s hope Nvidia fixes VRR on macOS/freesync, it’s not working correctly at the moment. When moving the mouse the Hz jumps to the monitor’s max disrupting VRR completely. The reason seems to be that even if the app is full screen macOS uses an hardware cursor that is tied to the monitor Hz rather than following game FPS and what VRR tells the system to set Hz to
The VRR side of it isn't limited to the 4080's - the international 3080 subs get it too thankfully. Just no 4k 120 (1440p 120 though)
i was always told this wasn't possible. hopefully we're able to get VRR with Moonlight and Sunshine some day
the overlay shows you playing at 4k60 with a gigabit connection but only 50mbps was being used. why dont they let people who have a internet connection, router, cpu and gpu that can handle a higher bitrate to use it to get a less compressed and more detailed stream? like maybe not gigabit but if were paying for the top tier subscription why not let it go to like 100 or 150 mbps atleast. still the same framrate or res but just a less compressed video stream to get higher detail
As a home user, sending 100 Mbps would cost me 35 bucks a month. With such expense, would you set up a 100 Mbps service for 20 bucks a month? In my region, 50 Mbps is near half the price. Enterprise is somewhat different of course, but basically bandwidth is not free.
@@RadioactiveBlueberry yeah well lots of people already have a capable connection. i pay £70/month for 650mbps so the more i can make use of it the better
I literally love this channel!
Lack of Sony published games is the biggest annoyance for me. But even on Starlink with ~28ms ping I find a lot of games to be really enjoyable. You can increase the bitrate too for higher quality.
I really wish there was a 90fps + HDR Steam Deck client. I currently use the electron based 60fps SDR client. It works in a pinch. Steam Remote Play HDR support would be nice to have too.
Holy crap he only has 5ms connection to their datacenter
No 30fps headaches in the cloud!
Gotta love Nvidia constantly embarrass Google without even trying
So..Nvidia keeps on improving $hit for gamers and streamers. It is _any wonder,_ that they #1 for so long?
Many out there who buy otherwise really don't understand what you are talking about. Price 2 performance ratios for raster is the only thing that matters.
Oh
Switch 2 with cloud enhanced visuals maybe??
It's nintendo so no
What's better than not owning the games you play? Not owning the hardware you rent to play them. 🤑
Rent play move on
Yep 😐 not cool at all. Don’t get me wrong, it’s good for some. But I’m native hardware till I die ( or run out of money )🥺
@@tituscrow4951 as long as Ubisoft doesn't precedent
Digital games > proprietary tech
@@chr1998isim ok with not owning game ( gamepass). And not owning hardware ( GeForceNow)
still cant play all your games
PC Gaming will always be more powerful than consoles. Imagine playing on 30fps in 2024.
$400 PC? Can it do that?
@@ottomaticallyawesome Long term pc is cheaper. No paying for multiplayer and the games are less expensive to buy.
@@zerus4435 imagine thinking all console games run at 30fps 😂... even switch has so 60fps
@@zerus4435 I’ll grant you that, but the upfront cost is a lot more, and not everyone plays multiplayer games and people like to own their games physically. So yeah a $2,000 PC will out perform a $400 console, but I think it all kinda evens out when you consider everything.
@@mikeuk666 some even 120/VRR with far better HDR without tinkering,
imagine still being a gaybox series x fanqueer in 2024
This is straight from a call of duty lobby lol.
Imagine being so wet you crying about xbox in the comments of a graphics card video 😂
He sounds straight from 2009 @Lucromis
Imagine being so heat up about gaming platform lol
I admire your commitment to this gig. This is true long-term trolling lol
