Posting this here only because I am trying it out on my new Mac Mini although it works on most devices but I thought it would catch the attention of those that may not need the expense of an eGPU to play some games.
I recently got an email from Nvidia to say I was in the Beta so I downloaded the software and have been trying it out for a few days now. Games played for a few hours each.
Rust
Fallout 4
Fortnite
Two Point Hospital
In the main everything was easy to setup, it's all about time as it gets the games up and running.
What really surprised me was how playable everything was, absolutely no issues at all, there was no sense of it feeling like I was playing inside a VM, no lag although it warned me a couple of times that bandwidth was low but it had no apparent impact.
The Mac Mini just idles away in the background.
Anything in your steam library appears to work well, obviously I have not tried everything.
The key will be your internet connection, mine is 300MB so that is going help, they recommend at least 15 Mbps for 720p at 60fps and 25 Mbps for 1080p at 60fps. For me all settings were pretty much maxed out and I had no issues.
It's still in Beta the planned cost appears to keep changing depending on where you look. It is not the only service certainly so there may be better options out there.
If you are a binge player then it will probably get quite costly, that said the casual player like me may be better off going down this route. It's an option and I like to have them
No doubt more threads on this somewhere but as I say, just to highlight to those that bought a MM recently and show it may be something for them.
