Nvidia gave us early access to the upcoming GeForceNow Ultimate tier, and we pushed the service to its absolute limits to see how good it is.
Nvidia’s GeForce Now cloud gaming service has always been among the best game-streaming services on the market, but how does it hold up when you’re not near a data center? Nvidia gave me a chance to try out the new Ultimate tier, fitted with its “RTX 4080” capabilities, but there was a slight problem — I wasn’t near any of the data centers.
This was clear when I tried out Apex Legends. I’m not a highly competitive player, but I’ve dumped thousands of hours into first-person shooters, so I’m a solid representation of the average person playing these games. After a couple of games, I just forgot I was streaming from the cloud. That’s the higher frame rate combined with Nvidia’s Reflex latency tech at work — even under poor network conditions, these features go a long way to reduce total system latency.
Even with a minor hiccup in Destiny 2, I’m comfortable saying that was due to my location. I had a flawless experience across the dozen or so games I tested, and under circumstances that are far worse than any subscriber will actually experience. In Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order, you can see the blockiness in what should be a smooth gradient of the sky. The same was true with fog in Warhammer 40,000 Darktide. The latency of GeForce Now Ultimate can have you tricked that you’re playing natively on a PC, but these moments of encoding artifacts bring the experience back down to earth.
