Did Nvidia take the Cloud Gaming reference with GeForce Now?

Since last year, many companies have opted to try to bring in gaming information. Cloud Gaming looks like the latest discovery, though it was a long time ago. The emergence of Internet connectivity and the proliferation of mobile devices have opened the door to Cloud Gaming. Google, Microsoft and Nvidia now, Show them their cards for this upcoming bet. Google Stadia it's on the market, only for subscribers, and now Nvidia has released the beta platform with a really attractive model. Did Nvidia take the Cloud Gaming reference with GeForce Now?

By comparing the services available, we have two products for sale, Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce Now. In the meantime, Google Stadia has been identified as a platform with its own store, which offers its own catalog of games such as corpses. And here we find the first difference GeForce Now, because the Nvidia service does not appear to be focused as a game shop, but as a high-performance team hire, for gaming games that users may have found, for example, to Steam.

In addition, if something Nvidia seems to be in control it is one of the things that raises some saturation on Google Stadia. We're talking about performance, because there have been some promises on Google Stadia that have not been fulfilled, as is the guarantee of being able to play 4K and at a very high level of detail. It has also been able to analyze the performance of Google Stadia games, showing that in some cases they don't even perform on the Xbox One X and Playstation 4 Pro consoles. In some cases, if it managed to give you a good performance, but given the circumstances, it's something many subscribers didn't like.

It is a fact that Google Stadia has ensured that users will not have to worry about the requirements of the game system, which allows to continue playing all that comes out of this service store. Without a doubt, it is one of the most attractive features of Cloud Gaming, where users only have to worry about wanting to play, without generations, if configuration, without updating hardware over time. In this case, it is expected that after a few months of app optimization, Google Stadia has improved its functionality and everything that is possible is due, in the adaptation phase of the app.

Now, the market has been kind to Google by having two equal beta platforms before it. On the other hand we have a future proposed by Microsoft with Project xCloud, limited to mobile devices with a specific, but expanding, Xbox gaming experience. There are still many questions about how Microsoft will market this service, but they also provide an alternative where each sets their own console as a server to play in the same way as xCloud. This was already happening on other platforms, though they were trying to do it on Steam and home PCs.

And on the other hand, a whole new competitor has emerged, though more than likely it has been a matter of leaving the beta phase behind and selling the final product. Nvidia GeForce Now It is a Cloud Gaming service designed for all who want to ignore the features of their PC, offers free restrictions and by Customer Registration, giving priority to the use of this site.

But somehow, when evaluating Cloud Gaming's dedicated services, or Google seems to have everything to follow, the competition has responded. Microsoft continues to think that Google will become one of the future competitors, because it is the company that dominates the industry. Microsoft may thank Nvidia, Although its infrastructure is very modest, its service is currently the one that offers the most benefits.

Also, even the appreciation that comes with delivery Nvidia GeForce Now, With a really good price that will see its price double when it comes out of promotions, we're talking about being able to play at a much higher level. There will be that difference between running locally and playing broadcast, but we're talking about very powerful teams, where everyone can fix finishing and doing The only service that provides access to Ray Tracing. With the same facilities as Google Stadia, Nvidia GeForce will now use the most powerful renewable machines. Looking ahead, we can assume that when introducing more demanding games, the Hardware used to further ensure performance will be delivered.

We have a really interesting video where the PC is being installed for just $ 300, and games are completely played with Ray Tracing like Metroodus, and others with high performance. Also, it doesn't matter which computer you want to play, because it is a game design It is still on Nvidia Play PC.

What seems clear is that Nvidia has hit the table with Google Stadia as its favorite Cloud Gaming service. In fact, few exist they talk about Nvidia GeForce Now for being a Stadia Killer. We might think that it might be a good reference for Cloud Gaming, although all of this will depend on how you handle the help when it comes to expanding the capabilities of these devices. Deal with the arrival of new, more powerful comforters, Nvidia GeForce can now turn into a great alternative, or at the very least, in the ideal combination of expanding users' options at a much lower price.

In fact, it may sound strange but still, Nvidia GeForce Now is a model that can visualize that the video game industry can move away from home hardwares, it can be an expensive PC game or console. But it doesn't seem like this will happen in the short term, however, it seems to be the path that many few are willing to follow, whether it's the best or the most comprehensive offering.
