At CES 2017, NVIDIA’s co-founder Jen-Hsun Huang revealed that PC gaming has doubled its revenue in five years. Furthermore, there are currently 200 million GeForce gamers, something that – according to Jen-Hsun Huang – explains the expensive R&D that NVIDIA has been doing over these past few years.
Jen-Hsun Huang claimed that hardware tech has advanced by a factor of 10X in these past five years, thus making it possible to enjoy things like 4K, HDR and VR.
According, to Jen-Hsun Huang, there are 100 million MOBA gamers, 325 million eSports spectators, and 600 million Twitch content viewers.
Jen-Hsun Huang also claimed that there are one billion users without a gaming-ready system, which is why NVIDIA announced GeForce Now.
GeForce Now is a cloud service from NVIDIA, featuring super-computers all around the world. These super-computers can be shared by all users, and they can play games – via the cloud – without owning a high-end system.
GeForce Now will cost $25 for 20 hours of play, and will be available this March for early users.

Still, the PC platform won him over consoles. That was mainly due to 3DFX and its iconic dedicated 3D accelerator graphics card, Voodoo 2.

Always good to see something new but still looking to see if I should get 1080ti or RX 490 this year hopefully amd gives us something gr8 this year and Rizen as well but they got to push things out I mean Intel and nvidia are dominating and are going batshit crazy with their prices … Still rocking 2600k 4.6ghz though sli970 and man they keeping up! Not 4k though… Ahahah
GR8 grammar
Gr8 u read it!!
>Greek
> 1080ti
Nice try.
Iam Greek too buy i know perfect english as you see. Where are you from?
I’ll always give credit to Nvidia for finding ways to get customers to continually pay more money.
But this isn’t new at all. Its just a different version of the GF cloud streaming isn’t it?
I’ll always give credit to AMD fans for acting that they are getting everything from AMD for free.
Never heard anyone ever say AMD gives everything for free, thats plain stupidity.
I said they acting like everything from AMD is for free.
actually they did, they had a software called raptr or something similar, you could get points by playing any game and use those points to buy graphic cards and video games
*Freesync
It even has the word ‘free’ in its title.
And it’s not free. You have to buy monitor with AdaptiveSync support to enjoy it. And you have to have a GPU which support it too. 🙂
Well that’s a given as the graphics card costs money 🙂
No one is talking about AMD but you. Get a life beefcake.
So you are nobody then.

lol Beautiful
Best comment I’ve seen in a while lol
No GTX 1080 Ti in Conference ?
Dude Borderlands2 is 4 years old now
NVIDIA’s CEO saw all the Vega leaks: no 1080TI
nope. he saw the leak and decided they can continue to milk everyone with GTX1080 still. no need to come out with 1080Ti yet.
Yea sadly. I’m sure they’ll market the 1080ti around the Vega performances. Good move to wait but still i wanted to see.
Vega demos are actually very impressive, in battlefront rock solid 60FPS (with cap so we cannot say how powerfull the graphic is) same in DOOM, plus the GPU still used fiji drivers with debugging layer, means final drivers can improve performance dramatically. Vega could be actually fast as 1080Ti, hard to tell atm.
In DOOM I have the same results with OC 1080 too. 🙂 I never tried Battlefront, but it doesn’t seem to be performance hungry game. They should show something else. Like BF1, Rise of the Tomb Raider or Crysis 3 in full details and in 4K. That would be interesting.
pc gaming getting bigger and bigger, that’s bad news
explain
Not true no pc hardware no consoles.
?????????………..???????????
??????????
25 $ fir 20 hours sounds cheap xD
It is ridiculous price, just ridiculous, who would ever pay such a price?
“First” world’s crazy crackers?
Just look what they’re paying now for “high-end” nWee-Dia GPUs.
Suckers.
idk it’s not even 1 day, if you can afford that, why not just waste couple k on pc and be done with it?
People pay 60$ for singleplayer games that last 15 hours or less (without expensive DLCs), so 25$ sounds cheap
btw what happen to multi monitor gaming?
I’m actually not sure that’s going to be a thing in the future. Already my Vive can provide more screenspace than any monitor.
See the new monster that Razer unveiled. xD https://uploads.disquscdn.com/images/60f255a84dda22afe0ac6478e82ae4f4a012a08cb51419149704201be50d78ca.jpg
“hardware tech has advanced by a factor of 10X in these past five years”
Poor consoles if it wasnt on pc, they still use 2005 hardware.
25$ for 20h ? I thought, when I first read about Geforce Now, that it would cost 50-100$(€) a year. People who have good PC’s would just wait for a sale and buy the game and people who don’t could save the money for a new PC in 1-2 months instead of paying 25 every 20 🙂
Edit: Also why not f’in 24h ???
“Also why not f’in 24h”
For your own good. You have to sleep too. 🙂
There are a lot of dump ppl ho will pay 25$ for 20 hours
25$ for 20 hours is too much some games can take hundred of hours of fun. And when i play a game i want to take my time
Unless they manage to make it under $50/ month for unlimited access I can’t grasp how they expect it to not tank as much as the already existing Playstation offer…
Streaming games is a NO!
F*ck that and f*ck whoever came with that idea, and f*ck anyone that supports that sh*t.
Amen!
nvidia seriously expects people to pay $25 for 20 hours? with 0 exclusive games? is nvidia CEO even knows or understand the PC market? it’s DOA i can assure you. dead.on.arrival.
$25 for 20 hours? Are they out of their mind?
Automod did nothing wrong.
Well automod didn’t remove my comment, but it did change it to f’ instead of the actual word. It’s lightening up.
Well, I don’t have luck with saying f*ck anywhere on the internet so I’m just covering my bases xD
I pay $50 for a half hour. Not for GAMING, but still…
Drop it to $10 and you might have something. But $25 is just laughable.
