With the membership, are you able to stream your entire Steam library, even the games that weren't initially supported by Geforce Now ?

This plays from Nvidia's systems, not the one in your basement.

This is directly aimed at Microsoft's xcloud gaming service or Google's stradia IMO.

I tried it out when it was in beta and was pretty impressed when streaming resident evil 2. The biggest advantage I find over google stadia is that you have full access to your steam library from anywhere.

edit: just tried it now and yea capcom games aren't allowed to be run now, bummer :/

It’s dropped a lot of support from various publishers.

Beta was amazing in the beginning, but now GeForce Now has lost EA titles, Rockstar titles, and Capcom. There are a few more.

I think Nvidia felt the pressure to go public due to other clouds services being out now.

I was using the beta since 2017 and the promise of what it was and would be has really diminished.

For anyone who hasn't tried this yet, it's basically renting a $3000 computer to play your games on remotely. Yes it lags a bit depending on how far you are from their servers. Yes you can play a lot of games but not quite every game.

Dumb questions but I am curious to know if the service only works for Nvidia shield devices and is the 1-hour stream unlimited? Like is it a limit per day for 1 hour or game?

this on the switch would be nice. (homebrew aside). they should cut a deal since they're partners.

think first, buy later.

Was wondering what happened to SF x Tekken. Sucks.

I'm interested if I can play dota on my laptop with onboard hd graphics without framing or lag.
