What are your thoughts on Nvida's charging for game streams?
What's going on? We're definitely discussing Nvidia Grid. How does our own gaming fit into this? Our personal PC streams are free!
I believe the focus is on charging for grid streaming, not streaming directly from your own GPU to shield.
Newspaper articles should meet stricter expectations. Adding supporting evidence or references strengthens your claims and improves credibility.
Doesn't make sense to use GRID in conjunction with an Nvidia GPU anyway, just local stream it. Because news posts are sources of information, whereas this is a forum to discuss opinions. Holy crap people come here to vent and to speculate, they don't expect their Thesis to be graded and accredited. Demanding citations is the most pretentious thing ever unless you're talking about an actual argument in which some incredibly dubious claims are made -- claims which, if wrong, undermine the entire premise.
One-time charges apply. Nvidia Grid servers require ongoing upkeep or upgrades. Purchasing a 750ti model means using CoD with a w/e license for five years only. Would those investments ensure the server runs smoothly and your game stays optimized for that period? They won’t exceed budget, but if the project falters they might cancel the subscription and switch to another microtransaction method, such as MMOs.
It seems you're confused about some tech details. Nvidia Grid is their streaming platform, and there are free options available too—just make sure your GPU is compatible. I’m not aware of any recent announcements from Nvidia beyond what’s generally reported.
If you have a fiber link, this might help you cut costs. Essentially, you could purchase the most affordable 730/shield device and play slightly compressed video from a server that clearly lacks sufficient processing power. You wouldn't need to upgrade your hardware much because the 730 is just showing the signal. This would be an extremely inexpensive option for the future since running the same GPU at home would be quite expensive. I wouldn't try it, but I suppose it could be useful if you could take advantage of a machine that doesn't require regular upgrades.
