This is the "rent a video card in the cloud" scam right?
Nobody cares NVIDIA.
Kernel anticheat probably does.
Oh is it the same nvidia that just stops supports for 1000 series and that kisses pedonald's ass? Get fucked.
Nvidia wants to harvest your organs to feed Huang.
@Marshezezz @cm0002 Relax, they only want to skin you alive to make leather jackets 😂
available as a Flatpak
Sweet, input latency (lag) via my favorite app delivery platform, and tied to a paid cloud account hosted by the shittiest behaving company on the planet! Can't wait to watch it wither and die.
Can you elaborate on the input latency part? It shouldn't really add any since it's just isolation.
Let's say you press a button on their "pretty looking" encoded stream using your "web browser". The absolute minimum amount of time for your input signal to reach the "machine" actually running the application/game is (on average) 30ms. The next frame of the game which acknowledges your input takes (again, absolute minimum) another 30ms to get from there to you. In reality, it's more like 120ms of "lag" minimum, no matter what anyone does to streamline/prioritize packets/eek out more efficiency.
It's the worst possible problem for playing any game. It's what killed Stadia, it's what killed Amazon's BS game streaming service. Makes a person feel just a tiny bit "drunk"- things taking too long, etc.
You may not "feel" if if you've never gamed locally (normally, game running on your own computer) but it's there and it fucking sucks.
I think what Missphant was asking wasn't "what is input latency" but was "does flatpak introduce more input latency than a 'normal' application". Unfortunately, after a quick search I didn't find any benchmarks. (I didn't look very thoroughly.)
Ohhh! No using flatpak doesn't cause any of that. Flatpak is great.
Nvidia can eat my filthy shorts.
With a tinfoil hat on:
Valve announces Linux based gaming PC. Suddenly major gaming companies slowly make moves towards Linux. Coincidence?
Yea no
Fuck all that 'play on our computer and pay us' bullshit. Jensen can eat a bag of dicks and share it with Nadella and Altman.
Don't fall for NVIDIA scams. You'll own NOTHING. Make Jensen hurt.
Only way I'm using a Nvidia in the future is if I steal a card never going to purchase one again after they supported Israel
As Linus Torvalds says 🖕fuck you nvidia
I don't even feel great about purchasing AMD knowing the CEO is a relative to nvidias
Intel's offerings are getting better. I just hope they're still at it when I need a new card.
Lmao, like I'm ever going to install anything by Nvidia ever again.
Ok
So is the Windows version
Just tried. Free version, no sub. Works well. I use GeForce Now like twice a year. Not something to sub to all the time. Something to sub like one month a year to when it's the best option you got
Dump nvidia
I know the general sentiment with nvidia isn’t great right now and for the record I have cancelled my subscription, but I do want to say that for people who daily drive low-powered laptops, cloud gaming works pretty well and nvidia had a decent offering.
Their monthly time limits for paid users completely turned me off though so I am voting with my wallet. I spent some time getting gamescope working well on my desktop to not really need it anymore. I use Niri and gaming is a mixed bag without gamescope.
I played all of cyberpunk on a MacBook Air using this back when it came out and it was pretty awesome
I get the hate but if you don’t own a gaming computer it’s pretty good
The hate comes from the fact that these companies don't want you to own a gaming computer or any computer anymore. These tech companies want you to rent forever and never own anything because owning doesn't make them all the money.
Combine that with the AI driven memory shortage and NVIDIA moving away from making gaming video cards and cutting their MSPR program it's clear that they don't want you to own anything going forward and just be only steaming on their servers and not just having it be an option.
I know, I said I get the hate but I don’t have a gaming computer anyway so it was pretty awesome nonetheless
If ai crashes out we can buy all the cards when the data centers go under and sell them all back
Yeah. And it’s dirt cheap. For now.
Use it while it’s subsidized, and drop it like a rock the instant it enshittifies. That’s been the optimal strategy for pretty much everything.
Last I heard they limited the number of hours you can play and raised the price. It's probably going to get worse real soon.
For some context, in the machine learning GPU market, Nvidia makes basically two products:
Supercomputer chips with HBM memory. This is the A100, H100, B200, along with AMD’s MI325X and such; things you won’t even find as PCIe cards. These cannot game.
Then there’s repurposed gaming silicon, like the L40, A40 and such. These are 3090/4090/5090 silicon dies with more VRAM hanging off, but otherwise basically identical. These can game.
In a nutshell, everyone wants the former. No one wants the latter; to the point where Nvidia stipulates “if you buy H200s, so must also buy this many L40s” in big business contracts. They can’t even get buyers to take them.
Where I’m going with this is that, contrary to what you hear, Nvidia has a whole bunch of “budget” server GPUs piling up that no one really wants for their still-astronomical asking price. This has been happening for a few years. They’ve got to do something with them, and they’re basically perfect for cloud gaming.
Hence cloud gaming is relatively cheap now, even with price adjustments. It’s cheap because the hardware is in surplus and the service is new. But this is not going to last, and I guarantee you will see major cloud gaming price hikes in the future over the shrinking surplus.
However, I’m saying that it is really cheap now and it’s gonna stay that way in the short term. The adjustments so far are pretty minor.
Small correction: the A100, H100, and B200 all have PCIe configurations.
But as you said, no gaming. No directX and no HDMI output even
Yeah. They aren’t common though, especially with the H200 and on where they’re mostly sold as SXM.
The A100 can actually game, either streaming it or using another card for output. The H100 technically can; it has everything needed, but (if I recall correctly) so few ROPs that it’s as slow as molasses.
Interestingly, the AMD MI300X and on omit ROPs entirely. Unlike Nvidia, aren’t needed for any backwards compatibility, I suppose.
Graphics cards are climbing faster
I happened to check r/halflife on reddit today and now I feel like I'm going insane
