It saves battery life and let's you have a higher and smoother framerate. You're talking shit on something you've never even tried. Playing on high graphics at 60fps is a hell of a lot nicer than low graphics at 30 fps.
I didn’t talk shit about anything. I said that I played directly on the deck, asked how the NVIDIA remote play option worked, and said that I have the option for the Steam remote play but haven’t tried it. I am curious about the remote play options for both NVIDIA and Steam but since it is good enough for me, I haven’t tried anything other than local play. That wasn’t meant to indicate that anything was wrong with an alternative.
People are not talking about remote play, lol.
GeForce Now is a cloud streaming service - meaning the games run on Nvidia machines with all settings maxed out, and you get the output. It's great if you:
You doing a completely separate thing and that being "good enough for you" would be like me asking for a recipe for apple pie and you responding with "well I went to McDonald's the other day and ate a pie and it was swell".
That's not what we're talking about, it doesn't help the original poster, and your experience contributes nothing to the overall discussion.
Edit: Removed some text that served no purpose other than being nasty to the above commenter. Apologies.
OR, my comment and this thread could be viewed as an opportunity to identify a value in driving development of a more seamless NVIDIA streaming experience on the Deck. The original commenter indicated that there is no demand or desire for it and I (and I assume many others) own a deck and were not familiar with the service thus driving awareness and possibly a few more people to push the demand. This post is about the use of the service on the deck and this thread focuses on whether there is a demand. It would seem like education on the service running on a deck would be pretty on-topic.
Sure, that's fair.
However, if that's the case then I would encourage you to at least edit your above comment to indicate what you've learned - as it stands right now it still implies the discussion is about local streaming/Gamestream.
