Nvidia's cloud research

So Nvidia, a company that specializes in pushing graphics still doesn't have anything substantial (with THE INTERNET helping graphics thing) but MS/XBO has it figured out and ready to ship this holiday?

:roll:

As a PC gamer, THIS IS a gimmik.

 

Good luck to anyone with a normal internet connection.

 

You gonna need 10x the speed to not hit latency issues.

Hypothetical.

1GB a second may not even be enough.

Huge bandwith has little to do with this. You're not streaming a full video like Onlive here. You're sending some data to be processed which depending on what data it is it might not even surpass few MBs. 

When I render on Autocad on my PC it takes 30 min for the CPU. The data itself, the file is just 200KB.

This is real time stuff downloadin/streaming from a source thousands of miles from me, seriously...LOL

You say that like it's something new and impossible. You do that all the time on MMOs.

I have never done that on MMO's, and all MMO's ask for data to be stored, and installed on the local PC.

You continuously send and recieve data on a MMO. You're in a huge group you send your data to every other player in the area. The character you have, your position, the damage you're doing. And all those other players are sending the same data to you in real time.

Yes, and none of it is graphical data, it is commands send over an internet connection, a line at 80ms+ will be lagging substantially vs a almost zero latency lan game.

Work it out, the video was showing a 150ms latency, and this is a local IP being used for internet, and it sure as hell will not be anything slow... it was tested by Nvidia.

[QUOTE="FoxbatAlpha"] Yes, I didn't feel sad for people that wanted a X1 but didn't have a Internet connection (pre DRM reversal). Why should we let people who live in a cave dictate the finer things gaming?FoxbatAlpha

Oh i see, so... a decision should always be correct because it is only appealing to a small amount of people... -____-"

It is data, doesn't matter what it is used for. Again this is not like Onlive where you basically stream an entire video. The data you send to the server doesn't have to be big at all. Is the processing of that data that is costly in the same way that a 200KB of autocad data takes 30 min to render.

This is my connection to Houston TX in USA.

This is my connection to a local server in the UK.

Not only was the latency way higher, the line dropped speed massively, and this is just fake commands yet again going across a line, not graphical data that produces latency at 150ms on a local IP.

Streaming games or game data is 100 times, maybe 1000 times more data.parkurtommo

Streaming games is, sending data about physics and lighting is not big at all.

Edit: watch the video. it absolutely proves the cloud is real.

AD216

Sony are downplaying it now, pre lauch but they'll have their own in a couple of years (not including Gaikai) and then it'll be a good thing :roll:.

These kind of threads remind me of the guy that kept pushing onlive a few years back.

So those who cannot get a good internet connection because of area coverage should miss out?

You sound like a huge jerk right now.

Nothing new with this generation of so called humans.

Cloud gaming is the future. Currently, its probably possible to run smaller processes against cloud servers, but the number of possibilities will increase quickly. Even hardcore cows know that Sony didn't purchase Gakai for the lol of it.lhughey

But Gaikai is setup for streaming games not offloading processing tasks.
