NVIDIA have today released the Beta for their new Native Linux app for GeForce NOW, available as a Flatpak so it should run across most x86-64 systems. Thanks to NVIDIA I was able to get some early testing in to see how the experience holds up, with NVIDIA providing Ultimate-plan access.
What actually is it? GeForce NOW is a cloud gaming service from NVIDIA. It allows you to play games streamed from their servers to your devices. This includes various free to play games and games you own from your own libraries across Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox PC Game Pass, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect and EA. There’s currently over 4,500 games available.
Fuck all that ‘play on our computer and pay us’ bullshit. Jensen can eat a bag of dicks and share it with Nadella and Altman.
Nvidia can eat my filthy shorts.
Yea no
Only way I’m using a Nvidia in the future is if I steal a card never going to purchase one again after they supported Israel
As Linus Torvalds says 🖕fuck you nvidia
I don’t even feel great about purchasing AMD knowing the CEO is a relative to nvidias
Intel’s offerings are getting better. I just hope they’re still at it when I need a new card.
Don’t fall for NVIDIA scams. You’ll own NOTHING. Make Jensen hurt.
With a tinfoil hat on:
Valve announces Linux based gaming PC. Suddenly major gaming companies slowly make moves towards Linux. Coincidence?
Dump nvidia
Just tried. Free version, no sub. Works well. I use GeForce Now like twice a year. Not something to sub to all the time. Something to sub like one month a year to when it’s the best option you got
This is the “rent a video card in the cloud” scam right?
Nobody cares NVIDIA.
Kernel anticheat probably does.
Oh is it the same nvidia that just stops supports for 1000 series and that kisses pedonald’s ass? Get fucked.
Nvidia wants to harvest your organs to feed Huang.
@Marshezezz @cm0002 Relax, they only want to skin you alive to make leather jackets 😂
Lmao, like I’m ever going to install anything by Nvidia ever again.
available as a Flatpak
Sweet, input latency (lag) via my favorite app delivery platform, and tied to a paid cloud account hosted by the shittiest behaving company on the planet! Can’t wait to watch it wither and die.
Can you elaborate on the input latency part? It shouldn’t really add any since it’s just isolation.
Let’s say you press a button on their “pretty looking” encoded stream using your “web browser”. The absolute minimum amount of time for your input signal to reach the “machine” actually running the application/game is (on average) 30ms. The next frame of the game which acknowledges your input takes (again, absolute minimum) another 30ms to get from there to you. In reality, it’s more like 120ms of “lag” minimum, no matter what anyone does to streamline/prioritize packets/eek out more efficiency.
It’s the worst possible problem for playing any game. It’s what killed Stadia, it’s what killed Amazon’s BS game streaming service. Makes a person feel just a tiny bit “drunk”- things taking too long, etc.
You may not “feel” if if you’ve never gamed locally (normally, game running on your own computer) but it’s there and it fucking sucks.
I think what Missphant was asking wasn’t “what is input latency” but was “does flatpak introduce more input latency than a ‘normal’ application”. Unfortunately, after a quick search I didn’t find any benchmarks. (I didn’t look very thoroughly.)
Ohhh! No using flatpak doesn’t cause any of that. Flatpak is great.
Ok
I happened to check r/halflife on reddit today and now I feel like I’m going insane
