GeForce Now Comparison

Over the past few days I’ve been deciding on how to compare GeForce Now with PC rigs to see if it is worth getting an online service over buying or building a gaming PC. Now one comparison I worked on is seeing how GeForce Now works on a non-gaming laptop with two dedicated gaming laptops. The computers I chose to run GeForce Now was the Lenovo Yoga Pro 2 and the two gaming laptops I chose to compare its performance to was Asus Nitro 5 with a GTX 1050 and an Asus ROG Strix Scar 2 with an RTX 2070. Another factor I decided to add was that all three laptops will be unplugged, meaning they will solely rely on its own battery power to run the game. The game I chose to run was Subnautica with its graphics setting set to high to really test each computers ability to handle water physics in the game on just its battery power. As you can see from the video above GeForce Now doesn’t disappoint, it starts up the game slightly faster than either gaming laptops (and this is on a 2.5Ghz Wi-Fi signal). Not to mention download speed is almost instant on GeForce Now’s program. After only a few minutes of playing I checked is battery level, note that I stared with 100% on all three computers, and the Lenovo dropped to 96%, Asus Nitro 5 at 89%, and Asus ROG Strix 2 at the lowest 86%. So far, I’m impressed on the performance that Nvidia can accomplish. I have done a small test between the 2.5Ghz and 5Ghz signals and the game dose run smoother on 5Ghz, but I haven’t down a full test on it. My next test will be to test it on an android system and see how it fares with a gaming PC.
