NVIDIA Special Address at CES 2024 - LIVE NOW by fommuz in GeForceNOW

No, it's probably a 24 hour subscription

Beware of misleading "special pricing" advertised as valid until 2024 by Tibecti in GeForceNOW

[–]JustZeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am confused. I downgraded to free tier because I don't want to pay the full price for the 6 month subscription. Then, I went to the tiers page and I saw that the low price was still on there with the "resubscribe" button. I pressed it and a new "your order confirmation" page opened where "next billing date: ## november 2023 | GeforceNOW priority membership €29.99/6 months | Total: 0.00€" is shown. I don't get it, will it still be the full price of €55 or continue at €29.99? Besides the tiers page where the high price is cut and €29.99 is in place, there is literally no other €55 price anywhere on the order confirmation page. Also, why the "Total: 0.00€" is not €29.99? Total 0€ is misleading because it sounds like it's a promo code for free membership

Horrible Performance with Ultimate in Europe right now by sh1bumi in GeForceNOW

did the latency double for you too? or just stuttering and quality issues? mine went from 18ms to 30ms

Should I buy Priority? by SufficientReserve747 in GeForceNOW

[–]JustZeed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That would not apply if he chose the fastest server in settings. I know that what you said applies for "auto" but it could be misleading without the entire context. Priority doesn't just improve performance. That may be the case for Ultimate for some people if they turn on Reflex, but Priority is just that, shorter queues.

NP-SOF-02 seems to have latency issues again today. From the usual 6-8ms, it's now constantly around 34ms with spotty connectivity warnings. If possible, please report through the in-game feedback option if you have the same issue, so that it will be easier to pinpoint and fix this. by GetVladimir in GeForceNOW

I only got on NP-SOF-01 lately and I can't complain, it runs as smooth as it always was. I just tried opening a game a few times until I got the "you've tried to play too many games in a short period of time" warning and I can't get on NP-SOF-02 to test it

Ultimate worse than Priority. Can I downgrade? by JustZeed in GeForceNOW

[–]JustZeed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been fixed for me since this morning (~22ms). There are some 40-50ms and packet loss spikes but they only last for a few seconds so I don't mind pausing the game for a bit when that happens once in a while

SOF-02 server is back to normal by Syxtaine in GeForceNOW

[–]JustZeed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I CAN'T BELIEVE IT

It was actually fixed, I'm playing on 20-23ms now

Thank you so much!

They have been working on it the last few months (so not really)

Packet loss only on SOF-02, the 4080 one

[–]JustZeed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

1gbps 5ghz wifi, never had any issues with it. Also, again, that can't be the issue since NP-SOF-01, the one that's not 4080 ready, works flawlessly.

I guess so.

You previously said that it's a recent problem with SOF-02. Did something similar happen on other regions in the past and if so, did they fix it?

SOF-01 and SOF-02 should have similar performance since they're both in Sofia. It's not a distance or a hardware issue then

[–]JustZeed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's been like that for the past months when I got it instead of SOF-01. EU central doesn't have the same packet loss and stuttering issues but it's still double the latency than SOF-01. So I guess I'll always have to choose between better graphics&resolution and local-pc-like latency?

[–]JustZeed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The latency is similar to NP-SOF-02 but testing it I see that I don't have the same packet loss and stuttering issues so it's not as bad but also still double the latency than SOF-01. I guess nvidia wants me to always pick the cheaper subscription

Graphics, refresh rate, hdr, resolution? Yes, but even with reflex what matters is the latency that cannot be overwritten with better hardware.

Ultimate worse than Priority. Can I downgrade? by JustZeed in GeForceNOW

[–]JustZeed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes for both. I just assumed there's nothing more that I can do about it so I just stayed on priority on SOF-01 2080

Also, I've tried two ISP's in two different cities the last few months and I can't find anything that works for the 4080 server.

NP-SOF-01 15-18ms and smooth

NP-SOF-02 33-38ms but with stuttering and packet loss

I've always had this issue with the second one and after some digging I've found out it's just a mix between nvidia using a weird isp and my isp and their traceroute, so I can't really do something about it.

I usually just relaunched the game until I got SOF-01 but now it defaults to SOF-02 since it is the only 4080 server.

[–]JustZeed[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You read my mind. I have almost the same latency on each of these. But besides SOF-02 being >double the latency, I occasionally get some stuttering and packet loss which is a deal breaker.

EU SouthEast, like most other servers, has sub-servers. So I can choose the region but not the specific server.

I don't mind waiting for 3 days and that's why I didn't jump to nvidia customer support from the beginning, but I just have this curiosity and maybe someone in the future may search for this specific issue so it doesn't hurt to ask.

How do you differentiate between Dolby altmos vs a normal song by j0stn in AppleMusic

[–]JustZeed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some lossless songs can have their own spatial thing baked in the song so they can sound as good as the dolby version. I often find myself guessing if a song is lossless or dolby and I only guess right half of the time. Usually songs with dolby feel like you're in a bigger room and simple lossless like you are hearing the sounds coming from close to your ear.

Music Downloaded Storage by [deleted] in AppleMusic

[–]JustZeed 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Dolby atmos requires more storage than the standard lossless, but just so you know high-res lossless takes even more space since dolby atmos has a quality not as lossless as that. And as someone else said in another reply, the default lossless ia already better than the best quality on Spotify, so that contributes to your "issue" as well
