GEFORCE NOW : Mac Cloud Gaming!

"

GeForce NOW connects you to a high-performance GeForce® GTX PC in the cloud, turning your Mac into a powerful gaming rig. Install your PC games onto our cloud PCs and play them at max settings with smooth frame rates.

I've been experimenting with Geforce Now for the mac client. I'm currently in beta phase and I can safely say you are able to stream PoE via stream with this service. I've supplied a screenshot showing the quality of the stream. Keep in mind the only issue is the mouse latency which i can compare to playing with a wireless unit. Other than that, you cannot tell the difference at all!

FPS is great seeing the cloud machines are equipped with the Tesla architecture. This is very promising for the future of gaming on the go given you have solid internet connect. If you are interested in this offer, go ahead and sign up for the access today!

Plus, the latest update to the GeForce NOW app added the following features:

1) New User Interface: Makes it easy to see all of GeForce NOW’s supported games under “All Games” and just the games you own, and have installed onto your GeForce NOW cloud gaming computer, under “My Library”.

2) Improved Streaming Resolution: Now we match the native resolution of your display, up to 1920x1200. And we support the 16:10 aspect ratio, which eliminates black bars. This greatly improves the experience on MacBooks, such as the MacBook Air, to increase resolution to 1440x900.

3) Network Test Tool: Quickly assesses your network and helps you optimize it for GeForce NOW for Mac. You can access the Network Test tool by clicking on your username in the upper right and selecting it from the drop-down menu.

4) Increased Playtime: We doubled the time limit for each play session to four hours. GeForce NOW remains free during the beta and there is no limit to the number of times you play or your total amount of play time. If you reach the four-hour session limit, you can quit and restart your game to get another four-hours of play time.

I've been testing it on my macbook recently and i'm blown away so far. If you are a mac user please let me know i may be able to get some beta keys.

Thanks for sharing.

Interesting. So Macs are now biatches to Windows systems with NVIDIA GTX cards? Who's you're daddy? lol.

On a more serious note, I assume this is very much dependent on your Internet connection bandwidth and latency. And obviously with you streaming to play, you can't then stream to others, either not at all, or only if your connection is golden.

A solid connection is a must. The cloud computers are very close to the PoE data centers, I'm getting around 7ms ping.
Latency is similar to playing with a wireless mouse.
