What makes Shadow worthwhile?
What makes Shadow worthwhile?
I just watched Linus discuss gaming streaming options. Many platforms looked really disappointing because of their limited game choices. He mentioned a Shadow service at the end, which piqued my interest. After some investigation, I discovered it lets you rent a complete PC rather than just a library of games. That sounded interesting, but I’m hesitant to give it a try since the company is facing financial trouble. If you think it’s a bad move to explore Shadow, what alternatives do you recommend? And if you’re curious, I own a PC myself, but I’d prefer playing with a friend who doesn’t have one.
I'll give it a shot. My GTX 970 has been acting up too—can't even connect to some older titles. Still, I'm planning to sign up for a subscription since the 1080 system should offer a smoother experience.
I'm not claiming it's slow, but it's reaching a stage where I'm playing games at the very lowest configurations while still achieving 60fps. Some titles won't even run smoothly at those settings, like Cyberpunk. It works well enough, which is why I thought about offering services to a friend. Plus, my CPU and RAM are quite old, and my GPU handles 8GB and a 4th gen i5 only occasionally. While I'm not saying it's terrible, in two years I'd expect this setup to become outdated. It's tough to find reliable CPU comparisons online, but friends told me the gap between a 2014 Core i5 4590 and today's CPUs is significant—though I'm not sure how much.
