u/Disastrous-Motor-900

far away from beeing like native.
Still... for now i really enjoy geforce now.
I really wonder where GeforceNOW will be in some years. I hope they will be able to increase the quality of the stream even more.

Ive realized that Games like Resident Evil with a pretty close POV are looking almost like native but every Game with far vision, vegetation etc looks just okeyisch.

(Using highest Settings in GeforceNOW with 300mbs internet and 0 packet loss)

So, ive had some pretty shitty life Situation and had to sell my 5090 Rig.
Kinda sad, but it is, what it is.
Still, i am a Gamer with all my Heart so ive read up about GeforceNOW. Mostly, comments were kinda positve so i gave it a shot.

First, ive tried it on my old Office Notebook (damn guys, believe me, its a shit Notebook haha).
I was kinda impressed, because i almost felt 0 Inputlag but the Graphics looked washed out and pixelated.

I have to mention, i have Fibre 300Mbits Internet.

So, Google is your Friend they say and ive tried to understand, why my experience is so different and it turned out that its all about the Office Laptop. I wasnt able to get the full 4:4:4 Colours for example.

In the End ive decided to get a new Laptop. Nothing too powerful but something, thats enjoyable in Bed or on travel. (Ryzen AI 350 + 5060)

Time again for some testing. Ive connected my 4k Asus Oled Screen to the Laptop and made some changes in the GeforceNOW Settings and HOLY SMOKERS.
Its freaking amazing how Resident Evil Requiem runs. It looks 99% like native and plays super smooth. Almost 0 Input Lag.

Battelfield 6 is another Story. Input Lag is almost not noticable and visuals are good but when u come from native 4k to GeforceNOW 4k, it feels a little "Blurry". Turning of Motion Blur helps for clarity and i would say it looks like 90% like native BUT it runs really well.

It becomes a whole different Story, when i play native on my Laptop Screen in bed.
Here, i use my WIFI connection (Router is 2 Rooms away).
I have the same performance but on the Little Laptop screen it looks just perfect. Damn!
Input lag isnt noticable. Games run Smooth as hell.

What ive notice, set the Streaming Quality higher then ur personal Screen and in Game u set back to ur screen resolution. Helps a lot for visuals.

So far, i am super Pleased with GeforceNOW. 20 Bucks in Europe for best quality Settings in 4k? I dont even know why ive spent so much money for a personal Rig.
I mean, yeah... a personal High End Rig is always a little better and nicer but on the other hand, why should i spent 4000€ to 6000€ for a High End Rig while i can enjoy those Demanding Games for 20€ a month? Thats VALUE.

I am really picky about Graphics but GeforceNOW is so freakin good that it not justifys to pay so much money for a High End Rig. Even the opportunity to play in my bed, or wherever i want, with a silent and cool Laptop, is freaking amazin.

Didnt expect that at all. GeforceNOW is great and im wondering where it heads in the Future. Hopefully it stays a HIDDEN Gem or prices will rise like crazy.
