![]() ![]() NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW has what I believe are significant advantages over its nearest rivals in the cloud-based game-streaming segment. How NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW Stacks Up Against Commercially Available Rivals: Google Stadia and Sony PlayStation Nowīroader Device Support. GeForce NOW may be regarded as robust and production-ready, having come to market upon the completion of a two-year closed beta that included over 300,000 gamers from North America and Europe, streaming some 70 million hours of gameplay. I believe that NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW is the best commercially available game-streaming service at this time, and presents serious competition to others players in the streaming-gaming space. This newly-launched service competes against Google’s two-month-old Stadia, Sony‘s 6-year-old PlayStation Now, and Microsoft‘s still-unlaunched Project xCloud. Though this segment is still highly immature, in the past few years, commercial game-streaming services have begun to enter the market, and NVIDIA’s GeForce NOW is one of the most promising new game-streaming services. With the need for downloads virtually eliminated, we are seeing increased competition in the streaming space. As broadband availability has grown, bandwidth has expanded, and latencies have shrunk toward instantaneity, game streaming is big.

That being said, faster Internet speed would allow users to game at higher resolution and faster FPS rate.Įven though the Yes 5G Gaming’s home page said that the gaming experience would be in 1080p at 60fps, this section of the FAQ listed the correlation between Internet speed, resolution, and FPS rate: You do need to have a quality Internet connection though as GeForce Now Malaysia’s FAQ recommends at least a 15Mbps connection. Ultimately, think of GeForce Now as a platform to play your games without the need to have a powerful gaming machine. Then again, the cloud gaming platform is not exclusive to paid games since it currently also supports more than 80 free games. ![]() However, do note that you still need to obtain your own Steam, Ubisoft, and Epic Games titles to play on GeForce Now.
