So, after asking for a few details here and getting little response (no complaints), I decided to give it a go and signed up for a month.

After a few days, I have to say: it’s not an option for me.

Steam, Nexus Mods and WeMod work, even if the hard drive speeds are comparatively slow. So the idea of saving on additional storage in the long term and installing games on the fly when I want to use them simply doesn’t work.

The performance is simply not up to scratch, even with games that aren’t graphically demanding, but it was mainly the connection stability that made it unplayable. I mean being in a fight in KCD2 and you get to connect the app three times within two minutes? No option for me. And it was not just at peaks on the weekend, but even on early Monday ...

As I wanted to rule out my internet connection, I also signed up for a GFN Ultimate trial on a whim – the performance looked much better there, smooth FPS, no disconnects … but then again, no mods either.

All in all, it’s a cool idea, but one that isn’t practical, at least in my setting.
Consequently, I’ve just placed my order for a gaming PC (9800x3d + 5080).

Good luck to everyone for whom ShadowPC is a solution!

I stumbled across ShadowPC because I’ve felt like gaming again after quite some time, but as I'm just having two kidneys it would be only two of RAM, GPU or SSD ... so it's cloud gaming.

- My goal is casual gaming on a MacBook Pro (16" M3 Max), with 95% single-player games such as BG3, CP2077, Anno 1800 / 117, Frostpunk 2, RDR2, Starfield, etc.
- Preferably at native resolution and 120 FPS, making full use of the display.
- I’d like to use both Nexus Mods and WeMod.
- My internet connection: 1000/60 with a 9ms ping and 3ms jitter (tested at peak times) and I live in Switzerland.

Is this possible with Pro Expert?

- The mentioned "Quadro RTX 6000 24 GB" is somewhat vague to me - is it Turing? Ada? What exactly to be expected?
- I’ve seen several screenshots showing queues. Does this apply to the top tier as well? How bad is it in practice? I’d love to hear about local experiences from Switzerland, Germany, Austria, etc.
- Can Nexus Mods and WeMod be used without restrictions?
- Is there anything else I should know about the practical experience of cloud gaming, given that my last gaming setup was a local Windows PC?

Thanks in advance for your advice!

Edit: Just found out by proceeding the booking the datacenter shows as FRDUN02 and tried the speedtest. Ping at roughly 33ms and jitter at 3.8 is clearly worse than the local test. Usually it still should be finde for single player, right?
Still: Is it possible to adjust the datacenter via support / or even self-service?

Edit2: Power Pro would be via FRSBG which I tested at 24ms / 3.3 and DEFRA at 22 / 2.5. So it would be really great if the datacenter could be adjusted ...
