TL;DR
Linus and the gang fired up Nvidia GeForce NOW in 2025 and were genuinely surprised—cloud gaming is now on par with mid-range local rigs for titles like Indiana Jones, Borderlands 4 and Apex Legends. They ran detailed side-by-side tests (fps, latency, visuals) and found that, in many cases, the streaming service holds its own.
Why It’s “Terrible News”
If you’ve been clinging to your pricey gaming hardware, take note: cloud play is getting so good that it could upend the whole PC-upgrade cycle. While local still has a slight edge in peak performance and consistency, GeForce NOW’s leap forward means you might not need that next GPU bump—at least for now.
