GeForce Now

[Silverbiker]

Anyone subscribing to the above?
Can't really see me doing it as my PC performance falls between Performance and Ultimate
and the free package is way below.

GeForce Now is nVidia's game streaming service. Not anything to do with the GPU app. ;)

I subscribed on my Macbook Pro - worked better than expected. That's also where I started with ETS2.

Geforce NOW is a great solution for those, who don't want to invest in hardware but still wants to enjoy PC gaming. I ended up selling my Macbook and bought my current PC.

Yes and that's not GeForce Now.

GeForce NOW - gaming streaming service.

GeForce Experience: Windows app.

GeForce App: Replacement app for GeForce Experience which is discontinued.

So - you will be forced to use GeForce App instead of Experience sooner or later.

If I do need it to update drivers shall just have free version.
All my online stuff runs really well as it is.
Don't need yet another paid streaming service.

Edit: Just had a look online and found this:
https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/4508/~/do-i-need-to-manage-my-nvidia-drivers-or-game-updates-
So it appears I don't need Now app or have I misunderstood the reply?

I think you’re confused. GeForce NOW has nothing to do with drivers. It’s a streaming service that enables you to play games via the internet - streaming the entire game and not having the game itself installed on your computer. This enables people with Macs or potato PC’s to game PC games on their hardware regardless of setup.

GeForce App is a support app you can use for easy driver updates, tweaking game settings and other features. It does not require a subscription of any kind.

GeForce Experience is discontinued.

So why this about subscription?:
https://www.nvidia.com/en-gb/geforce-now/memberships/
Also why I should I use it when I already have a load of games on Steam - some of which have their own servers for MMO's (which I don't play as they ain't my sorta thing)?
I also am online with Race Room, AC, Le Mans and several other driving games using their servers, so again, what is the point of this for me unless I have it completely ass about face or as you say, I am totally confused.

you use geforce now when you don't have a pc that can run the game. it lets you stream it over the internet, playing the game on a server at nvidia.

if you are able/willing to buy a pc to run the games you want to play, you dont need it.
