I'd be surprised if this works for anything latency sensitive over anything more than a LAN.
Even just the time it takes speed of light between NY and LA (410^6m/310^8m/s=1/75s) is roughly how long a 60 fps frame is (1/60s). Add OS serializing the frame from the GPU onto the network card, network switching of those packets, and you're starting to really feel that latency.
- denkmoon 4y agoThere are people out there gaming at 30fps with their TV set to Super Duper Image Processing Mode 500ms Latency Edition. Though I suppose these are realistically already served by the cloud gaming offerings.
- cobertos 4y agoYeah, I've tried with shadow.tech and you can feel the latency. There's enough throughput to get a quality video stream through but there's enough latency to feel annoyed. I only play sandbox games though so I imagine it'd be worse with something competitive.
- johanvts 4y agoThe datacenter is probably not thousands, but hundreds of kilometers away so there is room to deliver 60fps. I was surprised how well GeForce Now works.
- miovoid 4y agoWith 5G clouds now offers to deploy services to the small datacenters near 5G customers. In some cases less than 1 mile away.
- nixpulvis 4y agoExcuse me but does my 5G cloud have GPUs to spare right now, I could really use some shade.
- stingraycharles 4y agoI don’t understand what 5G has to do with this.
