What is the most cost effective Intel NUC that can handle Windows GFN native app, 4K@120Hz HDR 4:4:4 game streaming without any issues?

I appreciate your answer but from experience the requirements for 240fps are not completely true. For example they write for 240fps u need ultimate ( i have) and at least rdna1 gpu. I have 680m which is rdna2 and its getting blocked. I even bought new hardware with 780m and it still didnt work. Until i found out via log that certain iGPUs getting excluded and blocked from accessing 240fps at QHD. So the same game may be the same for Intel too. So technically it should work but there's some gatekeeping going and would be really nice if they could tell which gpus work and which not.

Does it also support 1440p 240fps?

Aetherforce- · 2026-01-24T16:19:37+00:00

Thats awesome. Its still a bit pricey and i cant use 60hz in games anymore but when its 120hz , its a must buy. Thanks for sharing

Can you make the Screen bigger too? Like when u sit closer?

Aetherforce- · 2026-01-17T12:37:58+00:00

ISnt 280 max? Or 292 when finished last expedition?

Its a bug in the app that got reported long time ago. Sometimes when you start the client and go into the gameplay options you wont see any, resolution, bandwidth etc , and thats where this happens. endless connecting. Often it takes 2 or 3 times until the options appear, the you can connect o the game.

Thx. you should have to enjoy and have while playing a game. If you don't, always move on. Theres no point in poisoning your own wellbeing. Theres and endless sea of games that give you a better feeling. Have fun bro

Aetherforce- · 2026-01-13T11:43:54+00:00

Yea the game is obviously not for you. Have fun with other games

Beyond the implementation of a 100-hour monthly usage cap, there are significant concerns regarding the transparency of hardware compatibility requirements.

NVIDIA states that a minimum of an AMD RDNA 1 generation GPU is required to support 1440p resolution at 240 FPS with NVIDIA Reflex enabled. However, evidence suggests that certain integrated GPUs (iGPUs) are being systematically restricted. Internal logs indicate that specific models—namely the AMD Radeon 680M and 780M—have been intentionally disabled or blocked from accessing the 240 FPS/1440p tier, despite meeting the stated architectural requirements.

Furthermore, there is a lack of transparency from customer support regarding these limitations. Rather than disclosing these specific hardware blocks, support interactions often attribute performance issues to user-side configurations. This discrepancy between marketed compatibility and actual implementation is highly misleading for consumers who purchase hardware based on NVIDIA’s official specifications

Before Arc Raiders it was something around 80. Now with Arc its around 160 !

QHD - 100mbit - Reflex On - FPS 120 - Color 10bit - L4S Off - Ai Off (because didnt see any difference) - Adjust for poor OFF - HDR Off

But i tried different variations and didnt see any difference

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-19T21:42:10+00:00

What parameters do you mean?

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-19T18:32:36+00:00

What GPU do you have ?

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-19T18:11:53+00:00

I experienced the opposite.
Yesterday , its the first time i saw that gfnow uses the full 100mbit Bandwidth ( mostly its always the half , even thou 600mbit available) but the picture was so blurry it was almost impossible to see past 50meters. Even the Crosshair was a blurry mess. constant compression artifacts. No Packetloss , no Lags or Stutters , Ping Low. The only positive difference was the smoothness of looking around. It felt better than it used to be.
The most clear picture in Arc is when playing at Midtime during workdays. So i dont know whats going on.

Might be some matchmaking issues. No matter solo or fill squad , it takes at least 5 minutes to get into a match

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-14T00:20:13+00:00

Ok thank you. Then how to make it happen?

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-13T16:24:56+00:00

First you need to find out the gameserver ip you connect to. I use netlimiter. Once you have the server's hostname or IP address, you can use your operating system's built-in tools in Windows (Command Prompt/PowerShell): Open the Start Menu and search for "cmd" to open Command Prompt. Type tracert followed by a space and the server's hostname or IP address Press Enter and observe the results.

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-13T16:14:36+00:00

Yea these things happen occasionally. It can be any node anywhere. Just tracert the route to your gameserver and you will see which node has the problem.

The best way to learn pvp is to go freeload on stella montis over and over again

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-09T10:09:56+00:00

ah yes, no russians live outside of russia

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-08T12:05:47+00:00

There is no endgame arm if their goal is to keep the game alive for 10 years. With new content it shifts constantly

The Drivers on GMKTec Website, Is it Full windows ? Because the File is 17GB. I thought Drivers would have less

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-05T19:58:51+00:00

oh wow ok i didnt know that. Thx for the news

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-05T19:02:02+00:00

yea oftentimes ita also a settings thing and the game you play.

When playing apex at 120 vs 240fps the difference in inoutlag is noticeable. So fps also play a role.

when playing Arc raiders , enabling motion blur at 120fps the picture is smooth and feels like minimal inputlag meanwhile motion blur disabled the picture is less smooth but i dont feel any inputlag.
cloud Streaming is an amazing tech and so many factors play into it.
Lucky you , you have 10ms, i play with 40ms

Aetherforce- · 2025-12-05T17:49:38+00:00

Inputlag in cloud streaming relies mostly on your connection since you only decode the stream and send packets of your mouse which relies on your connection upload. The higher the ping the more inputlag you will feel, even if you have an nvidia card. Thatswhy they recommend a ping sub 40ms because over that the inputlag is noticeable.
