This year’s review will primarily be focused on the gaming tiers though. There are two tiers in the newly defined Gaming category of Shadow machines. We’ll be covering both. So, is Shadow worth your time and money? Can you play the best games? You’ll find out here.

What are you using shadow on

@jacebakerjace 5 месяцев назад

I have boost and play GTA 5 ... it runs smooth, clear and at 2k plus resolution on my zfold 3. It's pretty incredible actually. Even my son is impressed and he uses his PS5.

What about colors ? Don’t you notice bad colors and reduced quality?

@Xonarous 4 месяца назад

I am currently running GTA v with LSPDFR and loads of scripts and mods and it runs smoothly on Shadow Power with 60 fps. Without mods i reach around 180 fps at most. I am satisfied. For someone that can't afford a game pc straight up. This is perfect

I have subscribed to the base tier, fortunately I got the Quadro RTX rig, so the games are working pretty fine, and for 30 bucks, I think it's a great program. Of course the price is really high, but at least I can access a full computer and the play the games I want. My only problem is the space available, 512 GB is way too low and unfortunately I don't have the money to purchase more space

@CloudGamingBattle 4 месяца назад

I "agree" with you by saying to me GFN is the least evil at the moment...it was an awesome service until the last couple of months when overnight games like COD and Apex required to wait minutes for download the shaders at every access and made the games stutter even during a match...until they fix it or allow us to store the shaders into our hard drives I'm not playing anything anytime soon
