Google Stadia vs. Nvidia GeForce Now

Personally I feel the Geforce Now offering is a lot more realistic than Google Stadia. I think in theory Google Stadia is great idea but in reality the infrastructure does not exist (So far as High Speed & Low Latency connections)in most places to pull off the gaming experience they are trying to push such as up to 4K. I think Geforce offering is much more realistic and I approve of their tier system but I am not sure I like the fact you are still limited as to how much you can play on the paid plans. Sure I get it if you are using the service for free, but Paid...I expect to play as much as my eyes can take. That is like Netflix allowing you to watch a few episodes or a couple of films and it stop working "Sorry come back tomorrow" lol.

 

Looking at the reviews (Including this one) that suggest that Geforce now generally has a better looking experience and generally allows some tweaking vs Stadia where it looks a little washed out and there is no tweaking at all, what you see is what you get, but that is not good enough considering that you are paying a sub.

 

No that I am going to go the game streaming route, if I was, then Geforce now would get my money as luckily I do not play monstrous hours any more, so the current limited game play time would not be a factor.

I think the 6 hour limit on the paid plan is just to keep people from logging onto the servers and never logging off.(Destiny does it now if you're too long without doing anything they put U in orbit)After the 6 hours,log out & U can log right back in,only loose a couple mins of play time.Heck,just log out during a bathroom break,and you're good for another 6 hours.;)

"The Free tier is limited to one hour, Priority subscribers can play for up to six hours per session, and Ultimate subscribers get eight hour sessions. There is no set limit to the number of sessions you can start in a day. The free tier also doesn’t feature “RTX On,” Nvidia’s term for ray-tracing and DLSS support.

There’s a priority component to the tiers, too, as Nvidia places limitations on the overall process and user loads on GeForce Now’s regional data centers. Free members have the lowest priority in connecting to the service, which can mean waiting in line to connect to a rig at times. Priority and Ultimate have priority access to the queue, with Ultimate members getting access to systems that provide up to RTX 4080 GPUs (where available, as this support is rolling out in phases).

Beyond those varied limitations, GeForce Now advertises up to 1080p at 60 frames-per-second gameplay for its Priority members, and up to 4K at 120fps for PC/Mac and 4K HDR on Shield TV for its RTX 4080 members.

 

In the United States, where this review was done, the membership plans cost the following:

Free

Priority: $9.99/month or $49.99/6 months

Ultimate: $19.99/month or $99.99/6 months"

GeForce Now offers a solid game streaming experience you can try yourself with the free plan; you just have to own your own games or...
