Hand on: Nvidia’s Jefforus now RTX 5080 is better and worse than I hope

Today, NVIDIA is launching its latest gaming GPU in the Cloud-in which its 20-month Jeffor is now upgraded with RTX 5080 graphics for selected Games, which is further on the road. At the same time, it is adding thousands of more titles to its own sports service to allow you to install yourself, while the Ultra is also opening 360 herits for the fast desktop monitor, which has a 90 -hest version of his steam deck app, and a lot.

Does all these changes make Jefforus basically improve now? Of course, and it was already great! But while playing, I could not escape the thinking: It is good that Nvidia is not taking extra compensation for most updates, as they are just a bit under influence.

Don’t think me wrong, more power is always welcomed, and more power is what I have seen. I The killer’s profession shadow And Cyberpank 2077The built -in benchmark, two of the two, was able to run in two, Nvidia’s cloud -based RTX 5080 presented anywhere in the 4K resolution from 25 to 50 % compared to the old RTX 4080 servers.

It is enough to play at 4K TV near Max Settings, and later on 4K Unless You either sacrifice ray tracing or allow NVIDIA’s DLSS 4 frame generation to add an additional fake frame for each real frame to smooth things. My Cyberpank Better to see with the Freemrat Body Card!

But I quickly discovered that, like this physical RTX 5080, the company’s marketing is moving faster than its tech.

According to the launch, there are very few RTX 5080-gameable games that I have had a difficult difficulty in finding them, and there is no way to tell them right now. After You launch Call Off Duty: Black OPS 6 Or The shadow of the tomb raid Instead it is running 4080 class GPU.

And to achieve the big frame benefits promises to NVIDIA RTX 5080, you will need to prepare its servers three fake frames for every real -, when you add it to a cloud gaming break, dramatically slow down the speed that reacts to your move. I didn’t have to try for a long time in 3x and 4x frames Indiana Jones and the Great Circle To find out that it was a non -starter for me: Indi was presented to his prime minister in this game, but suddenly he felt like a lazy old man.

But I will admit that the 2x frame general seems to be quite viable than the cloud connection, at least when the Ethernet is plugged directly into my desktop.

On the fast side of things, my fellow Tom Warren tried Over Watch 2 Nvidia’s new 360Hz mode, and said it found it “easy to be competitive”, but unfortunately the mode is limited to only 1080p resolution. He says, “It was not best to series at 1080p on the 4K monitor.

It is important to note that the approach to buying 360 herts monitor is usually for better reaction times in sports games, not smooth frames itself, and NVIDIA you are not getting such a real 360Hz (2.78ms) reaction time. But NVIDIA claims that 360fps are provided and provided Can Take you down for 30 mm, which is incredible for cloud gaming and should be better than a console in your room. I Over Watch 2 For example, NVIDIA says it is only adding 1.8 mm encoded, 0.3 mm decacod, and 9MS of game engine activity and rendering, at this time you are sending NVIDIA servers to press the button and send data to the Internet.

Meanwhile, although the 90Hz steam deck app is an upgrade for the Steam Deck OLED 90Hz screen, which has a smooth experience overall, I was surprised that RTX 5080 does not improve the performance beyond. I Claire Ozer: Campaign 33, The RTX 5080 was not enough to play at 4K on 4K on the maximum settings than the RTX 4080, so I tested at 1440p, and it saw the same framerate from about 90Fps (the lowest in the big outdoor battle) from 90Fps (indoor environment), which was used in GPU.

(Yes, I recommend streaming on resolutions more than 800p on the Steam Deck’s 800p screen, as the over -seping makes a clear and crisprous image with low cloud gaming samples.)

Last but at least, I tested Nvidia’s new “Install to Play” feature, in which you should increase the number of sports on Jefforus, which allows you to install any game in which the valve’s steam cloud play has been selected, even if NVIDIA has not taken the time to test. There, Jefforus now basically only exposes the copy of his steam so that you can install and launch any game you have before it has not been endorsed.

Those games install even faster than my imagination: It took 17 seconds to install 1.4GB Aces and adventures; 53 seconds to install 8GB 1000xresistThe game that I haven’t stopped thinking about all year, 1 minute 22 seconds. The Knights of the Old RepublicAnd 2 minutes 9 seconds to install Sleeping dog ‘ 10.5 GB data.

But when the install -to -play works, and it may be quite fine to avoid installing them re -installing extra pay (permanent storage for 200 GB for $ 3, $ 5, $ 5 for 500 GB, or $ 8 per month), even more than I hope.

It added only 21 more games to my Jeffor now in the library. Without installing to play, I could access only 162 of my 472 steam games through the Nvidia cloud, and that number has only cooled a bit. Now I can play Davis ex And System Shock 2 And Tom Rider’s birthday And The golden idol The game, of course, but realisticly I just play them on the steam deck locally. If I had only a phone or chromebo, I would probably feel different. And maybe we will really see the advantage moving forward, as it allows Nvidia to add new titles faster than ever.

Just not expect that Sony or Rock Stars will serve their PC Games.

Finally, when I expect it to be a symbol of pre -launch test servers, but I went into an extraordinary insect to test the GFN RTX 5080 and the install -to -playplay. The client sometimes forgets the settings of my streaming. Jefforus sometimes thought that I was trying to log in to Virginia and Steam blocked the log. I had other sign -in issues and occasional black screens, sports compatible issues with steam and up play, I found out that I would not start some games yet after clicking them, etc.

If you see the same problems, or if you get the install -to -play, tell me amazing new gems!
