Nvidia has a solution that might appeal to you.<\/p>\n<p><!--more--><\/p>\n<p>The company introduced GeForce Now for PC and Mac platforms. It\u2019s a cloud-based game streaming service that lets users take advantage of Nvidia\u2019s tech by paying for it by the hour. You can play games on a GTX 1080 for $25 per 10 hours, or you can play them on a GTX 1060 for $25 per 20 hours.<\/p>\n<p>As for the games? You need to actually own games on digital marketplaces like Steam or GOG to use this service. You could also stick to free-to-play titles. If you want to play, say,\u00a0<em>Grand Theft Auto V<\/em>, you\u2019ll need to buy the game on Steam and install it on this virtual PC.<\/p>\n<p>Here\u2019s the service\u2019s official FAQ on that:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Games are downloaded and installed from game store platforms. You must log into these store platforms to verify game ownership before downloading. You must also accept any license agreements that are part of the normal download and install experience set by the publisher.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<h3>This is a good deal if you don\u2019t aim to play too much<\/h3>\n<p>In less than 300 hours, you\u2019ll have spent enough money to buy your\u00a0own top of the line GTX 1080, for what it\u2019s worth. Granted, you need a gaming machine to do it.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019re looking to dump a thousand hours into gaming, which plenty do, you\u2019ll want to actually plunk down the cash for a PC. If you play a bit more casually and simply want to experience high-end experiences without breaking the bank, this makes sense.<\/p>\n<p>Of course, you\u2019ll need a great internet connection. I imagine latency exists, too, no matter how blazing fast your connection is.<\/p>\n<p>You can sign up for the waitlist for GeForce Now by visiting the official site below.<\/p>\n<div class=\"infinite-scroll-metadata\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"sourcevia-wrapper\">\n<div class=\"sourcevia fCaps fLS0\"><span class=\"label fLS1\">SOURCE<\/span> <a href=\"http:\/\/www.geforce.com\/geforce-now\/faq\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">GEFORCE NOW<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Want to experience gaming on a machine with top specs without actually buying or building a gaming rig?
