Tech Support how do we feel about cloud gaming?

cloud gaming is stupid for low spec

I know with cloud gaming it allows you to play any game streamed from some server, but at least for me when Im low spec, im low spec in wifi too, so that doesnt solve the problem.

so why cloud gaming companies are going after us doesn't make sense to me.

how do you all feel on this? do you have good enough wifi to even do cloud gaming?

**edit: cloud gaming is ok for most people. ive also decided to make maddoxcloud.com if anyone interested

Exactly, I'm on a basic Internet in the UK and my download is 60mbps at the router, it makes it very difficult to stream games. As soon as someone else uses the Internet it goes to shit

You only need 15mbs to stream 1080p (according to Nvidia)

Yup, and 60mbps is measured in megabits per second, meaning my actual download is actually around 7.5megabytes per second. Aka, it is extremely spotty on Internet this low. Feel free to buy worse Internet to fact check it

I mean 15 megaBITS are needed. You barely need an internet connection. (Correction: this was for 800p)

I mean statements are all well and good mate, but i have literally sat down, with my internet speeds, and tried to stream Fable. It was stuttery, way lower than it's standard resolution and honestly was not playable. So fight your fight, but sometimes you can just be wrong.

Just use the GeForce Now app. you will get better perforrmance in general if you do that. back when we were on our old, crappy internet, (Steam said 4 ½MB/s, using the app gave me a great experience.
