So, i decided to try out the high performance PC streaming service Shadow.
So this company provides a PC that you stream over the internet to play all games on ultra. They claim to have virtually no lag and any tech issues, i.e component failures are taken care of buy them. Update of graphics cards etc are done on regular basis so your optimally streaming at ultra settings. Now this is not just for games, you could install Photoshop or any intensive app and your ageing PC at home will still run it like you were running it locally. Your getting access to a full computer and you install your apps like you do on a PC. With the apps for android, ios, Mac and linux you can continue where you left off! Wanted to run linux at home but still need the functionality of windows for some apps this is for you.
I'm doing the maths to see if this service is a viable aletrnative to buying your own computer for gaming. My PC i built this time last year cost me in the region of around £750. 1 years Shadow subscription cost me 312(or £26 a month (£16 first month if you use my voucher code) If your a gamer then you'll be upgrading the graphics card in 2 years time, if not before.
I'm testing this out and will be installing Eliteangerous with Voiceattack and all Voicepacks so will update this thread once I have more info.
