TOPIC: I've just rented myself a cloud gaming pc

Basically a thing where u have a crap Pc so u rent one that u dont get, but have access to through cloud streaming.
Should i review it?

Giveaway results coming soon!

I watched a LTT video on these kinda things and honestly it looks pretty cool.

Definitely leave a review, I'm interested to know what you think of it.

Actually rented one from shadow aswell!

Takes them 2-4 weeks to give me a place though, due to high demand.

I will make a review video when I've tested it for a week i think!
It definitely seems cool, if it works like they say it does.

Damn
How much is rent on such a bad boy??

If you wanna try it for a month it's 45 Euro's. If you wanna go all in and rent it for 12 months its 29,99 per month.

Expensive stuff, I just want to see if it's worth it! And since it's a new thing I just wanted to inform you guys that this exists. There are a lot of people that don't have the 1,2k to spend on a new gaming pc, so this might be a good alternative.

I've rented one before 10$ a month and the cool thing was I could access it from my phone though the controls were shit I played the melee guy from paladins on my phone at school

Geforce Now should still be in beta and still free

It really depends on what you want to do.

If you want to play standard vanilla games, get geforce now.

If you want to have a gaming pc (not really but u have access to it) to mod and do the naughty tings with the shlong then you should have shadow.

what are specsz

cloud gaming pc:
Intel Xeon with 8 dedicated threads.
NVIDIA GTX 1080 Server-Equivalent P5000
12GB RAM DDR4 2400
256GB Storage Space SSD (Can upgrade to 1TB for just 3 euros)
1GB/s Download

And if you meant the requirements, as far as i know you can run the program on any pc (shouldnt be from 1998 tho probably) and even your phone and TV. The most important thing that you need is a good internet connection.

I've asked them a similar question per E-Mail. I know that Bitmining is not tolerated, and you shouldn't really crack games on a PC that's in theory not yours. But I really don't know how they're gonna catch people that do these things without invading privacy. I will give an update when they've answered my question.

I also had a shadow PC for a while, their input lag is kinda shit though. and their CPU performance is lacking aswell so I decided to drop it

Edit: The GPU also doesn't even come near a true deticated 1080

Edit 2 because I always forget to include everything: Zarp FPS is shite i got 40 fps max in server 1

They recommend at least 15K, but If you don't want to have a potato stream, I recommend 50K (from what i've seen)

Had seen no complaints about that. It's just like a PC. Obviously if they have issues with their servers or their network, that's a negative. But as far as i know they're doing good work keeping everything in order.

I haven't tried shadow yet, but i need somebody to let me know if that's a good deal to rent one to even tho i don't have the fiber.
My ping is like 10~90ms and i don't want to rent it rn since i don't know if i'll lag and get huge internet issues.
