NVIDIA has announced that its gaming cloud service is a huge success so far. According to the green team, over 1 million new gamers have signed up for a free plan or upgraded to the Founders membership.
Premium members can play all the RTX games even if they don’t own an RTX GPU. Moreover, the Premium subscription comes with a 90-day free trial. As NVIDIA noted, this trial is an important transitional period where gamers, developers and publishers can try the premium experience with minimal commitment.
NVIDIA has also stated that it has an additional 1,500 games in our onboarding queue. This list includes both indie and triple-A games, like Cyberpunk 2077.
So yeah, contrary to Google Stadia, GeForce Now appears to performing well. That could change once Google releases some exclusive games on Stadia, though things are not looking great for Stadia.
Stay tuned for more!

I’m actually playing Division 2 non stop with this untill i change my processor cause it stutters like hell on my PC with almost 100% CPU usage. And this only uses like 3% of the CPU. I’m actually amazed by that. And the streaming quality is crazy crispy.
I can’t find any of the games i own or want. Just Skyrim was there from my steam,origin and battlenet accounts. I would gladly pay those 5$ if they had a few more games… so this is great news! The only thing stopping me from buying in!
If you have s**t for brains and want to forfeit what little remaining control you have left as a customer to the corporations, then you’ll be salivating while you eagerly sign up for this pile of worthless s**t. To say nothing of streaming compressed video of a game to your computer, and calling that “cutting edge performance”.
I have no words for the stupidity of this entire notion. 1 million registered morons. How’s that saying go? The world is full of stupid people? Yes. Yes, it is.
It is an excellent alternative for those that cannot afford to game on the latest hardware. I already recommended it to a few people myself. I personally don’t care to have my bandwidth quota ran up playing 1080p 60fps gaming sessions or deal with the slight lag.
At the same time I will contend that it is an excellent solution for those that want high quality gaming on the go and they only own a chrome book or something like that..
I don’t think some gamers yet understand GeForce now. They are not selling you games. They’re giving you the option to play your games on their hardware. A much more feasible option than stadia.
Naturally since NVidia makes hardware it’s cheaper for them to do this at little to no cost. And just look at how many gamers have already play tested GeForce now. A good percentage of intrigued opinions.
This is not to replace pc gaming but it is pretty entertaining to see this type of technology.
I agree man, If I was aspiring to get into pc gaming Initially, owned No PC and No PC Games, and my parents had unlimited fiber gigabit internet, sure. But for a long term gamer whom owns most all games already and has a fully competent home build, and suffers from cruddy internet of only up to 40mbps, I would never contemplate the idea and would only suggest it to the rich kiddos uptown with the fiber, being as most are currently into only consoles, as it would get them in the game and THEN, they would indubitably get pissed off as soon as they brag to their friends online about Geforce now, and as always, the haters would ruin their day, and such, they would mostly find ways to convince their parents or steal money to afford the latest NVidia Graphics cards, and the best builds, as you Know, once someone experiences top of the line graphics from top of the line machines, especially up and comers looking up to streamers, they will never ever want to go back. They might settle, but they will always strive for more. Promotions and sales 101. Just like drugs, only in this case, the first time is never free. Give em a taste of the best utilizing their current equipment, reassure them they will never be as good as the rest until they are on in house technology, and make their minds explode when they upgrade to the best and realize they are still not good enough… unless they are one of the lucky few that are just genius or prodigy.
They’re not pushing this as an alternative but rather as a mainstream, “evolution”, “progress”.

It has nothing to do with exclusives: nvidia does not have any exclusives on their platform now, yet they are doing well!

Also GforceNow has 1500 upcoming games. No matter if they are exclusives or not, Stadia cant even say exactly how many games currently are upcoming to the platform.
It feels like they are in huge decline with both games and users.
Especially with their business model.
The tech is interesting. Too bad if all games goes streaming, i will have to give up gaming, and just play older titles. Because from where i’m at, internet is slow and expensive not to mention the speed/data cap even on “unlimited”.
“And this only uses like 3% of the CPU. I’m actually amazed by that. And the streaming quality is crazy crispy.”
You’re amazed that your computer only uses 3% of the CPU to stream video? You must be completely clueless.
You find the quality “crazy crispy”? Maybe take care of the cataracts in your eyes, and you’ll surely see it for what it is. Either that, or you’re a shill of some sort. One or the other.
he’s right. I tested on my system, 1080p and actually the streaming quality is so good that only fine details on black color frequencies are lost. Even the film grain is pretty present.
I hate cloud gaming, but nvidia with now has done a GREAT thing.
Why don’t you stop shoveling crap and actually test the service out yourself since your opinion is so strong of it there is a free tier for it that limits your gaming time.
I personally don’t care to try it out because my rig plays most games around 1440p 100+ fps, but I am not throwing salt on people that are having a good experience with the service also.
Aww, someone doesn’t have a credit card or 10$ to buy and test the game out.
I even posted screenshots on reddit, this is how it looks.Search for “Division 2 looks really good!” title by Arkadia222 on gforcenow subreddit, Go find someone else to troll =D.
You think everyone that praises a product is a shill? How deluded can you be.
actually it is if u got good internet speed its like using 16x AF looks extremely detailed
Even with a decent internet connect, the lag is awful. If you want to play games and can’t afford decent PC hardware then get a console, but this cloud gaming nonsense is really for the smart phone crowd.
I’m sorry but the experiences is different for each user.
I don’t have any sort of lag with my internet connection.
Of course you do. What do you think ping times are? Then realise that is on top of the reduced frame times as it is only offering up 60FPS.
Ingame ping is 20… so no , no lagg at all.
Its funny how you know my experience better than me [and completely wrong] when i’m playing the game. XD
So no mouse lagg of any kind when i move or shoot, like delayed firing or movement. I’m sorry but you’re wrong.
Post some screenshots and explain what ‘ping is 20’ actually means.
