Nvidia Grid Review: Cloud Gaming at its Finest

 

The latest Nvidia Shield update launched recently, bringing the Tegra

powered tablet up to version 2.0 and adding Google's latest Android

operating system, Lollipop 5.0. While there were many new features,

tweaks and other improvements to the general operation of the tablet

with these updates, the most important one for Nvidia was the addition

of their GRID gaming service.

 

GRID has been available in an early Beta format for some time now,

but with the servers based in California, lag time for me in the UK

rendered the service unplayable. Now that Nvidia has brought their EU

Beta servers online, all that has changed and Nvidia have been working

hard to give the service an almighty speed boost.

 

What is GRID? It's essentially Netflix for gaming. You pick the

title you want to play and the Nvidia super computers remotely run the

game for you. Nvidia do all the heavy graphics processing for you on

their high-end graphics hardware, then stream the video to your

device, just like you would stream a movie. When ever you press a

button on your controller, they fire that information back to their

servers and stream the data back to you. This all happens in

milliseconds, assuming of course that your internet is up to par with

such a technology. Nvidia recommends 10mbps internet with a ping time

of around 30ms to their servers.
