Nvidia GeForce NOW SA launch

I didn't feel anything at all. Felt like it ran native on my pc.

One thing I can say is avoid playing GFN on Wifi at all cost even on wifi6 it just isn't the same as Ethernet.

Cool to see how low your latency is. I have a fibre connection, but still, I have a latency of at least 20ms or higher from Cape Town.
I hope Rain will host a GeForce Now server park in Cape Town in the near future

20ms should be fine, afaik GFN recommends anything under 50ms

What does a traceroute to the server look like?

You can drop a few ms if you service provider drops the Rain ip route at CINX and NAP CPT and transit the traffic to JHB directly. Looks like currently the traffic is handed to Vodacom in CPT and then Vodacom takes the traffic to JHB and Give it to Rain.

I'm on a 100mbps line with Telkom, I'm getting 20-27 ms of ping in CPT on a wired connection but my packet loss is sky-high. Anyone with recommendations to reduce it?

What Ethernet cable do you use? Maybe there is something interfering with the cable?

There is sometimes some funny packet loss but its behind rains loadbalancer. I've had the same issue. Up to the public ip, no loss but GeforceNow app itself complains about packet loss which can only be within thier network. No differance multiple ISPs, locations or means.

Just got a call from RAIN to advise that there are priority slots available (but I’d need to purchase today).

Would I be interested as one of the beta users?

Told them I’m waiting for ultimate.

Seems some Ultra as well. Best to go and check on the site me thinks

 

[henkthehunter]

Ultra is still greyed out for me.

I don't recall seeing an RTX 3080 with this much VRAM

Chaps, is there a massive difference between Priority plan and Ultra? Is it worth having? I'm on Ultra and thinking if down grading is the right move
