Nvidia GeForce NOW SA launch

What did I miss?
I re-read the last few pages and couldn't figure out what to do.

Aah ok, thanks. I assume it does not work anymore?
I tried it now and it wants me to create an account but I already have a rain account and wants me to sig in.
 
Rain Customer Support just phoned me and asked me to answer a few questions regarding the GFN beta. Questions included providing the name of my ISP, on which device I play, if I am playing via WiFi or wired, which games I have played, if I had issues with loading any games, how long the queuing is and overall feedback about the service. Since I haven't really had any issues I told them that I was quite happy with the GFN service so far. I assume they will phone most of the beta participants at some stage to get feedback before launching to the public.

I am pleasantly surprised by how well this works, played the ghostrunner demo expecting to have issues considering it's a fast paced FPS but heck it was very playable.
Played about 30 mins of Shadow of the Tomb Raider and also very decent.

Looking forward to seeing launch pricing and what hardware the ultimate plan will have.

You actually reminded me that I had ghostrunner just gathering dust in my epic games library lol

Been playing for the past hour and it's incredible. The high fps count (without dlss) + Nvidia Reflex technology makes input lag feel like local (Testing with KB + mouse).
Highest settings as well.

Did try Ray tracing but it dropped the fps to around 60fps, still playable but not as responsive and fluid.

I need that 3080 tier now!

I want the 4080. That would be a premium rig in my eyes. I guess the 3080 will be better than the 3060 but will depend on the pricing for the ultimate tier.

Ray tracing making Battlefield 2042 look amazing, but FPS takes a serious knock on the 3060 it's just not powerful enough.

Yeah, unfortunately one of the disadvantages of alliance partners. They always get things late.

The upside is that Rain is still better than most alliance partners, alot of them still use 1060/2060 rigs for their priority tiers and don't even have access to the 3080 lol

Maybe if there's enough demand then Rain will acquire the 4080s but we'll see
 
@reubenzj @Fireball @Killmonger2K @ManBeater @Phylax @ItherNiT @ricardo_za Hey Guys sorry for the collective ping, seems like they fixed the bug thanks for messaging me tho, if I came home earlier I couldve actually got it for you guys, I deeply apologize :( ill try and look for ways to bypass but I dont wanna get in trouble for actively signing up people who werent invited even though we all deserve one for the wait!

Technically the bug still works.
It just doesn't work for existing accounts anymore, only newly created ones. So you can see the page, create an account then add to cart and checkout.

If you got a spare ID number floating in the abyss, you might as well give it a go.
Happy gaming everyone. :whistling:

Edit: only in incognito, it seems.

Well it works! Just tested it on a email that never got the beta LMAO. Press the invite link change the email in the Create account page and it lets me in xD Only new accounts though, so if you have a extra ID ask a friend sibling whatever you can probably get access to the beta easily.

Edit 3: Once you create an account with the link you only have a one time chance to add the plan to your cart before the Nvidia page disappear, when you pay it still wont show but the Subscription will show in your rain account page!

Can confirm this works, been able to get gfn priority due to deluxy's help! So far I have been loving GeForce now, playing ghostrunner demo so long(I don't have steam games) but the RTX performs so well, running very smoothly on my 50/50mb fibre on epic graphic settings without ethernet! Will have to beg my parents for gamepass!

Check the Free to play section in GeForce Now. There are a bunch of games there.

Link your Ubisoft account if you don't have one create one and add The Crew Motorfest 5 hour trial to it.

store.ubisoft.com

null

Buy The Crew Motorfest - Available Day 1 on Ubisoft+. Bring your The Crew 2 garage to The Crew Motorfest with the Collection Import!
store.ubisoft.com store.ubisoft.com

You should be able to play it for free for 5 hours. I must say that The Crew Motorfest isn't well optimized for Nvidia cards

Nice thing with GeForce now is you can play every free to play game on the platform without having to worry about space.

Tried this, didn't work for me....arrrrgghhh I'm so sick and f%$%#ing tired of not getting an invite. They should just launch the bloody service already and get it over and done with.

Why does Starfield never work? (I have Xbox Game Pass Ultimate and I'm using that login).

I attempted this now but what a major PITA, first have to log in to my MS account using a gamepad and terrible on-screen keyboard (and I have a random 16 character password). Now I'm at the infamous "Syncing data" screen which I suspect will take up all the remaining time in the session to complete. So don't see much point in even trying.
