Ultra Gaming on a $200 PC - #Helpful Post

hey guys za stain and today I'm here at

CES with NVIDIA about to take a look at

GeForce now so not only were they

awesome enough to sponsor this video but

he just caught my video a couple months

ago where I took a look at GeForce now

for the Mac you know that actually works

pretty well so in that video I was using

a 2009 MacBook I got for 200 ollars on

eBay and playing proper PC games using

the internet game stream tech which

sounds really exciting and fancy now not

only is that still around but today

we're actually able to also play now on

the PC one of the big advantages of

GeForce now is that you can play games

on hardware that you normally couldn't

so take for example this this is the HP

stream and it's a 200 oh a laptop I've

actually done a video on this a little

while back and while it's not a bad

computer gaming is definitely not its

strong suits since this is cloud gaming

we are relying on having a decent

internet connection so this guy is gonna

be hardwired in but beyond that the

requirements actually aren't too crazy

in addition to GeForce now being

available for the PC there are also now

some you play games available which is

why I'm playing Rainbow six okay that's

not good this is a lot of fun something

I'm noticing here is that the latency

really just is not that bad even when I

get into gunfights the main thing that

kills me is uh you know my expert skills

one of the nice parts about this is that

because we are playing via the cloud

we're actually able to crank the

settings up pretty high I'm curious what

are we actually running out right now

running at very high settings on a Tesla

p40 because you know exactly what I want

to play on my 200 a laptop since I did

my last video GeForce now has seen some

updates including there's now an actual

search function so if you want to look

for a specific game you can do that now

what's even more exciting is there's now

an ultra streaming mode the idea here is

that in the cloud the game is going to

be running at 120 frames per second and

then you're going to still get a 60

frames per second feed to your computer

the idea is is that that will help to

cut down on some latency now it's not

supported on all games one game that is

supported is fortnight something

interesting here is that we're playing

on a slightly higher in computer so this

is like a standard Ultrabook and while

it has a nicer screen which is

definitely helpful the actual experience

of playing the game should be the exact

same so like five seconds in I can tell

that this is actually a slightly

smoother experience so while there's

very little latency on this side having

the game run 120 Hertz even though I

actually don't have 120 Hertz panel just

does cut down latency ever that much

also I deployed my parachute way too

early and actually what's interesting is

so in Las Vegas right now the actual

server were playing this on is in Los

Angeles which is a few hundred miles

away next we have pub G which is the

most popular game on g-force now and

well basically everywhere else so the

demo here is we have two identical 400

laptops

one running the game natively at a

slightly less than optimal two frames

per second on low and the other running

the game at full KP 60 on wall g-force

now so what's kind of interesting and

something very helpful that Nvidia has

provided is a full chart showing the

performance gains you can expect when

you stop using the integrated graphics

on your laptop and as you can see these

numbers are much higher look I don't

have to do this this is something I

don't need to do but I'm gonna try to

play pub G at 2 frames per second

because I don't have a good reason

actually I'm gonna try it it's a really

impressive experience I've got to say

the the graphics are unrivaled and the

frame rate is what some would call

buttery smooth I mean there's less than

probably 5 seconds of latency between

when I had a button and when I actually

see my character move on screen I stop

there he stopped anyway I'm gonna move

on to g-force now I think that's thrill

though this is a great demo of what

makes g-force now really interesting the

idea that with a 400 laptop that has

pretty low-end internals I mean this is

like a Pentium that's able to play games

like pop G at a really nice and smooth

frame rate obviously you need a good

internet connection but it almost even

makes more sense with pub G because you

need a good internet connection to play

it anyway

odds are if you're going to be playing

this you're gonna have an internet

connection that's going to be digit

enough to actually be able to stream the

game

I mean pub G is maybe not the greatest

looking game in the world but especially

the last few patches really have made

look nice and the desert map actually

looks pretty decent although I know

nothing about where anything is right

now oh oh hello hello hello no no no we

don't yeah there we go I got one kill I

feel very proud and accomplished that I

caught a guy as he was running out of a

building and successfully got him

okay so well the G Force now beta for

Mac has been out for a few months it is

now available for PC and it is still

free at least Intel Nvidia comes to

their senses now the cool thing is that

if you were already on the Mac beta you

can get on this immediately but

if you haven't tried it at all yet you

can get on the waitlist and they're

going to be adding more people every

week so if you guys have not tried this

it is definitely worth a look but what

do you guys think about g-force now let

me know in the comments below and I will

catch you on the next one
