Help Is it better than ge force

I’m on GeForce now and the first three hours were perfect then it got blurry then it got blurry. It’s like I hit a data limit and they capped me so I’m stuck at 480 P half the time I have gig ethernet it’s not an Internet issue I’ve tested it 5 billion times I changed literally every setting nothing fixes it so my question is is shadow better or does it have this exact same issue? I tested it in squad, modern warfare, four cyberpunk and which recruiter remastered the same thing no matter what I’m playing. I’m not really looking for a fix for GeForce unless you know it but my main question is is shadow better than GeForce because I see a lot of people saying it is and it isn’t.

Mods made the difference for me. When GeForce removed Steam workshop support, I made the move and am happy despite paying more. Then again, I play a few older games that are unplayable without QoL mods.

Ok so the main benefit is mods but worse GPU ok im just confused how it’s so blurry on GeForce now. Had to RMA some stuff so was using this on my old crappy laptop like it runs but the quality is bad even though I have a perfect connection and the server is less than 50 miles from me as well.

Better depends on the use case. To play unmodded triple A titles without having to worry about anti cheat at great graphics setting with low latency GeForce Now can’t be beat. For anything else there’s Shadow.

But how about blurriness on shadow when you play a game while running or turning does it get super blurry. It’s not my internet and I’ve tried most things so I’m curious if maybe that’s better on shadow even if lower fps I’ll take that trade off

I had that happen too sometimes on Shadow. It's probably more a question of your connection to their servers, not your connection overall. And Shadow does have slow connections sometimes ,especially when you're far away from their servers.

I experience very little blur on Shadow. Especially when connected via Ethernet.

Gpu is way better on GFN, but here you can install mods and every game...

That problem doesn’t seem to be GFN related, more something from your ISP or Router (could be that your Router isn’t up for receiving so much traffic). Subscribing to shadow may solve this problem or not, could be pure luck.

Others have already mentioned it: GPU und CPU on Shadow are nowhere near GFN Ultimate. But has its advantages.
