It turns out there were plenty of other takeaways from the session as well, including Huang\u2019s affirmation that while cloud gaming will be huge, PC gaming on local hardware is here to stay.<\/p>\n<p>Nvidia has pumped a lot into game streaming already and is, at this point, one of the most successful proponents of it thanks to GeForce Now. Huang touts <em>\u201chundreds of thousands\u201d<\/em> of concurrent users even at this early stage, primarily down to PC users trying to take their games anywhere. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOur core starts with PC,\u201d <\/em>said Huang.<em> That\u2019s our center point. That\u2019s why GeForce Now plays PC games. That\u2019s why GeForce Now allows you to take the PC games you\u2019ve purchased and play them anywhere. That\u2019s why GeForce Now runs every game that\u2019s available. No porting is necessary.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cOur strategy is very different <\/em>[from competitors like Google and Microsoft]<em>. There are other strategies around streaming games, like Netflix or something like that. I think that\u2019s terrific. The more expansive the gaming market is, the better. <\/em><\/p>\n<p>But, and there\u2019s always a but, <em>\u201cIt will never replace the PC.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>As for why streaming will never replace local hardware, it simply comes down to the speed of the service and the demand for as near-perfect an experience as possible from gamers. There is not going to be a solution to delayed response times. They can be improved but they can never be perfected, meaning competitive gamers will always have an advantage playing on their actual PC hardware.<\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cIf your question is, \u201cHow long before streaming can be as good as a PC?\u201d the answer is never,\u201d<\/em> said Jensen. <em>\u201cThe reason for that is because there\u2019s one problem we haven\u2019t figured out how to solve, and that\u2019s the speed of light. When you\u2019re playing esports, you need the response in a few milliseconds, not a few hundred milliseconds. It\u2019s a fundamental problem. It\u2019s just the laws of physics.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>There\u2019s always pesky science getting in the way isn\u2019t there. The only thing between us and instant response game streaming is faster-than-light travel. It does mean that your PC gaming future is safe though. Those after the ultimate in reaction times are always going to benefit from playing on the actual hardware rather than relying on our ISP overlords to defy science. Options are great though, and it seems we&#8217;ll have plenty of choice in the future both in terms of how and where we play our games.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The full transcript has emerged from the CEsS 2019 Q&amp;A session in which Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang called out the Radeon VII as \u201clousy\u201d.
