Even on a generic citywide Xfinity hotspot, I was still getting 185.5 Mbps over Wi-Fi. With that in mind, I tried to capture what GeForce Now is like on a more normal connection-and with most of the city closed down at the moment, that turned out to be quite the challenge. But you can probably guess the catch: This kind of data power is still out of reach for a lot of folks. I was happy to find that the PlayStation DualShock 4 controller I'd paired with the Pixelbook performed well with virtually no noticeable latency, although turning always felt a tad more sluggish than it should be regardless of which game I played.Īwesome, right? That's workable. In Rocket League, I didn't feel like GeForce Now was hobbling my performance, and I even scored the most goals for my team during my first match and had the lowest ping of any player.

The Witcher 3 performed just as well, with Steam's FPS counter only dipping into the 50 FPS range during intense battle sequences.

With those settings, on both wi-fi and ethernet, I was able to experience Control at almost the same quality I would playing it on a PC, because Nvidia's remote hardware was doing most of the heavy work.Īt full resolution, I'd have a hard time telling which still images came from the PC and which came from the Chromebook. It's also well above the 15 Mbps Nvidia suggests for 720p 60 fps streaming and the 30 Mbps it suggests for 1080p 60fps streaming.
