      Wouldnt call it pricey, especially for the Hardware you're getting.
      Also, the specs get updated from time to time, meaning you pay for ultra graphics all the time, not just for a few years like you do when buying an expensive PC.
      But its obviously not something for everyone and I respect that.

    i am thinking of selling my gtx 1080 fot that. and i would get a gtx 950 and it would be more then enough to stream 1080p or even 4k... or i could get a i7 8700k and 8 gb more ram and a 512 ssd... for ton of money and i could still not play it well like that... but i am not sure if its really 1080 because of the compression... i hope my 40mbits is enough to get full 1080...

    • @Knightfire66
      @Knightfire66 3 роки тому

      @PresFN now I do use shadow. its important to know that they dont say that you have to play on 30 fps. if you do increase it then input lagg is way too much. but for sp games its more then enough. tested it on minecraft(full shader), ark, assasinscr. odyssey, metro, gta v(especially good because its already a "slow" game), watch dogs 2, rdr 2 (like gta slow game, really good), arma3, skyrim, single player strategy games... I am kind of happy when it comes to gameplay. one downside is the gtx gen gpu. you dont have rtx support. so in future rtx 2060 super would be a better choose then 1080 I believe. but with the 1080 I can play the games on very high/ nearly max wihtout rtx. the details make up for the input lagg which is not even noticable when you play on 30. there other problems. if you have 50 mbits then you have to set up shadow to about 1/3 of it. dont know why but that helps with the input lagg a lot. so if you have 100 mbit then 1/3 would be 30. I testet that on my friends home on 50 mbits. he has 150 mbits. it was good. at my home I play depending on what my family is doing right now on 15 to 20 mbits. the video quality on 10-15 is not really 1080p. 720p at max. the only downside for me is loading time. start your pc > start shadow > start the game > load your savegame... takes way too much time. you cant automatically start and enter shadow pc. on 25-30mbits you'll get 1080p. but for me with 30+ mbits the game freezes for a sec sometimes... downloading games is 0 problem. with 1 gig+ speed on steam/epic etc. you can get the game in minutes... to put stuff on shadow in future there will be drag&drop available. now I am using cloud storage but my upload speed is waaaaay too slow. i can even put 3rd party games on shadow. games i dont have on steam or epic. but it takes a couple hours to upload them. good news is that your upload doesnt impact your download. so while uploading on shadow I can still play games. so putting games with 100+ gb on shadow is doable in the background with no problems. but better play steam/epic games...

    • @Knightfire66
      @Knightfire66 3 роки тому

      @PresFN you got it wrong. the fps is not prooblem. with lower setting 100+ is possible. but the latency is the problem. with shadow you should forget winning on pubg, fortnite or lol... just play for fun... to play fortnite I would play on my own pc on mid settings instead of maxxed out on shadow pc...
