NVIDIA Increases GeForce NOW Pricing in Canada and Europe
According to the latest NVIDIA knowledge base FAQ, the pricing structure of NVIDIA's GeForce NOW game streaming service is increasing. Applicable only to Canada and Europe, the price increases due to "increased operational costs in those areas," as NVIDIA notes. The customers paying in CAD, GBP, EUR, SEK, NOK, DKK, CZK, and PLN will experience a roughly 10-20% price increase of around one to two Euros, based on the GeForce NOW subscription level. However, there is a good chance to secure better prices for the following months, as active and new members who sign up for GeForce NOW before November 1st can lock in their memberships at the current pricing for six months before experiencing an increase.
The company notes that this also impacts membership gift card pricing adjustment, with gift cards purchased before November 1st honoring the old pricing and newly minted gift cards after November 1st getting a price increase. This change occurs across all subscription tiers, including the Priority tier for 1080p gaming at 60 FPS, the Ultimate tier for 4K experience at 120 FPS, and the Founders Ultimate tier, which increases gameplay duration from six to eight hours. You can see the updated pricing structure in the table below.

A fool and their money are soon parted??
I agree it's too expensive, given it's only really ok for a cut down selection of games, but if most of what you enjoy playing doesn't need really low input lag & you don't wanna sink £2k into building a PC, I see the appeal.
I was someone who first tested the game streaming water back in the OnLive days! I remember sitting at lunch at work streaming something over 4G & being amazed at how good it was back then. It wasn't good enough, but I was still surprised. I was a Stadia subscriber for a little while too (RIP). That was...kind of impressive & disappointing at the same time. At its best it was a really good experience, but you'd only get stints of a few minutes of its best, before its worst would show itself...
My point was, Internet access & server performance will get stable enough one day for it to be a very viable alternative for a lot of people.
- A lot of games are still not supported.
- I can't play ANY games that arent on the service or any of the digital stores.
- I can't play ANY local games on the service.
- I can't leverage CUDA in a lot of the applications I use.
I play a few games that are NOT on any digital store and use applications that use cuda. Those two alone mean GFN is doa for me.I assume you mean "OpnWRT" and I have tried it. I dont like the gui, its even more users unfriendly than pfsense, were such a thing possible.
Stop the insults.
