GeForce Now

[Etxxu]

Hi!

I bought to my girlfriend Nvidia GeForce Now to play Skyrim and others and... Almost no game of my library is supported...

So Im thinking in buying Shadow instead, but I have several doubts:

1. Could she play Bethesda games? I can't find list of Shadow's supported games.
2. What are the specs of Shadow in virtual hardware? (VRAM, RAM, etcétera).
3. Shadow support all games?

Im asking because googling I only see webs from 2019-2020.

Thank you so much!

The only thing I know about GeForce Now is that it is for cloud gaming and I know Skyrim doesn't even work well with cloud saves. I doubt it would work thru cloud gaming. But I could be wrong, I'm no expert.
It is usually suggested to have cloud saves turned off for Skyrim.

I personally do not ever use anything cloud related if I can help it. But I'm old and grew up before the internet and spent all day playing outside in the sunshine as soon as the sun came up.

I too grew up in the days of Rotary Phones and Porno Mags. Traipsing off into the wilderness to return dirty and bitten by bugs and animals. So I gotta ask. What the #($* does that have to do with anything?

I agree with your Cloud stuff though. Hate the Cloud and everything about it (except for the part where it gets me what I want). I gotta say, I don't regret staying inside as much as possible through my life. When the Covid Lockdowns hit it didn't impact me at all.

Shadow has literally every Game as has no list, its just a virtual PC so, as long as you have the Game, you can play it

I found the answers.
Shadow is, by far the best cloud gaming (allow even mods), but its soooooo expensive (30€/Month while GeForce only 10€)

Geforce now was forced to drop Bethesda games because of a dispute where companies thought they were distributing copies without permission, it was false but to this day Bethesda games aren't supported.

Yea, I just took a look at Shadow and basically you are renting a remote PC. So it runs whatever software you install on it

If you are only going to use it less than four years, it is cheaper than buying a new PC to run high end apps
