Ken5421 Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 I'm a non techie so be patient with me. Is anyone playing Sturmovik via Nvidia GeForce? I know Google with Stadia and Microsoft with xcloud are competing in the online game streaming sector. But I understand Nvidia GeForce is superior. I bought Sturmovik Battle of Stalingrad plus the others via the main website and not steam. I went downloaded Nvidia GeForce onto my PC and you can access Steam through that. You can add games there. The only way I can add Sturmovik is via the activation product keys but I can't find them. Or am I missing something? I have a pretty good rig. My system is: Processor: Intel (R) Core (TM) i7-8700K CPU @ 3.70 GHz Installed memory (RAM): 16.0 GB (15.9 GB Usable) System type: 64-bit Operating System, x64 - based processor Windows 10 Graphic card: Nvidia GeForce GTX 1080 So the big question - is playing Sturmovik via an online streaming service going to give me a better performance than what I currently have? Inevitably this kind of streaming will overtake my rig. I currently play on maximum graphic settings using head tracker. Currently getting some micro freezing Also if I want to try it through Nvidia GeForce, where can I find my old product keys?
R3animate Posted February 8, 2020 Posted February 8, 2020 (edited) To be honest, having testing Geforce now quite a bit when it was in beta-- no, you'd get the same microstutter (I think they used to use Telsa P100 cards, not sure what they use now). Input lag is the real killer, if you can live with the input lag it'd be fine. Other factors (pretty major ones): Your trackir likely won't work VR would never work Your pedals, stick, and throttles likely won't work either. Someone correct me if I'm wrong here but you're basically remoting onto a VM -- you'd get xbox/ps4 controller support and any of the stuff Steam natively supports but that's about it. I mostly ended up using it for the Total War games, where they delay didn't bother me. You're still dealing with compressed video too, so spotting will be a nightmare online.

Ken5421 Posted February 10, 2020 Author Posted February 10, 2020 Many thanks for your response. That is very helpful. Sounds like I should stick with my PC rig for Sturmovik. Thanks again cheers Ken
