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
