Nvidia GeForce NOW SA launch

Anybody with Rain One who HAS NOT received a direct invite willing to do an experiment for us?

@shals not asking for the details but can you check your "join now" link if its just a link or has a ref code?

No use, rain uses a whitelist config on their website I checked. If your email isnt on the whitelist they wont let you view the Nvidia category
 
Hi folks. I have another update. A Rain customer service agent called today. We spoke about GeForce Now. I'll just dump here what I told y'all.

I play on a desktop with a 12100F and RX 6500 XT and on my work MacBook Pro M2 Max. The desktop is vial LAN, Mac is WiFi.
I rated the service a 10 (yeah it really is given why NVIDIA and Microsoft don't want to launch here).
I did post videos of my Startfield gameplay in this thread. It was really great. I also played a few hours of Valheim. I'll really push the service this weekend while also recording videos and put them up on YouTube.

Enjoy your long weekend! Mine's already started with cheap alcohol and Everspace 2.

Yeah when you click the link the browser sends a GET request and the response contains the result including your email and if it is is whitelisted.

So only working if you have Rain account and log in via Rain?
Pretty useless then. Hope they dont expect people to sign up to Rain accounts for this. Lol.

Anyone on Rain who can test the speed, latency etc?

From what I've seen, you don't need a subscription to rain to be able to use GFN, but needing an account does suck.
 
Sorry I am late to the party but I am interested in this service. If I may ask a summery.

This is how I understand it It cost about $9,99 USD that translate to about R187.35 ZAR a month so about R2.25k a year. That is really not bad considering GPU prices. I stand to be corrected but there is also a free version that allows one access for one hour sessions. I don't really know what that means.

What type of Upload download speeds does one need to run this? My LTE can manage 50Mbs down and 20Mbs UP. I installed fibre a week ago it a standard 20Mbs up and 20Mbs down from Vodacom.
 
Right I am going to write a STRONG worded letter to our National Consumer Commission. the so called NCC. Why do we need Rain accounts? So Now I am forced to use Rain and only Rain? Everyone here knows how unethical they are.

Hi there, there is no pricing available currently. The Priority tier is R1 p/m for the beta phase and that is all that is available. Factor in PC game pass at R79 and for R80 p/m you can have a lot of fun. Internet speed should be 35‐50 mbps for 4K gaming. I think 20mbps is fine for FHD at 60fps. Should be constant and stable though.

1. It's in Beta
2. It's a service provided by them and billed by them.
3. Do not jump to the conclusion you need rain hardware or network to join.

Thank you, Do you know if you get access to Epic's development tools like Unreal Engine? It is just if that is the case then it can be a really powerful tool for me as I don't have to own expensive hardware.

Then my thinking was correct. They monopolized it. Pity this could have been good. But now due to the many complaints on MyBB about Rain and their practices I will have to decline.

I genuinely can't tell if you're trolling or not.

Not sure about this, how will I be able to check? You don't need expensive hardware though as the servers are powerful. I think its GTX3080 being upgraded to GTX4080s. Pity that in the beta we are limited to FHD 60fps but I have Ray Tracing on at least. The whole point of the service is to give you GTX power on any device with a screen
