New from Nvidia Android next gen TV and video games all in one – Hipertextual
New from Nvidia Android next gen TV and video games all in one – Hipertextual
Nvidia has introduced its new console / set-top-box, and has done a week before E3 facing anticipate new releases that arrive assumptions of the big three console companies, the rumored PS4.5 / neo, the even rumored Xbox Slim / Scorpio and Nintendo already confirmed NX. Logically, Nvidia does not fall squarely within the concept of home console , but it does so with a fusion between the classic set-top-box and Android console, but puts its house brand with enviable technical and inclusion of its gaming platform streaming section.
the truth is that Nvidia Shield presents itself as something more than the typical complement to the TV and, above all, as much that attempts we’ve seen so far Android console. Does not have the power of a next-generation console, but is able to move next-generation game through streaming and fully supports the broadcasting of games Twitch.
in this sense, company officials have confirmed to us that has a power similar to that of a next-generation console calculation, and thanks to its components and a system optimization, is able to move content in ultra high defición ( 4K) with a spectacular ease. In tests we have been teaching Nivida Shield, the device has moved with incredible fluidity with 4K content Netflix , and the fact that it is Android and can load any app of your version TVs, the device capabilities skyrocket.
on paper, Nvidia Shield mounted Tegra X1, 64-bit processor and 3GB of RAM , Ethernet, AC WiFi, support for USB and micro USB support for MicroSD and headphones in one command … much more powerful and innovative than other Android TV devices on the market bet, so face to compete, not with consoles, but the set-top-box most popular, which multiplies in power 3x, it is an alternative to keep in mind.
However, in addition to the features of Android TV that know too well-and in this case its compatibility with Shield- Android games optimized for Nvidia’s appeal lies in GeForce nOW, the Nvidia subscription service that allows play new-generation titles at 1080p and 60fps streaming and currently includes more than 100 titles. Yes, GeForce NOW is only free in the first three months SHIELD devices, and will be priced after the trial period of 9.99 euros per month.
Streaming from service Nvidia or streaming from your home PC: Shield can with all next-gen
games in tests has shown us the company (all in real time with the final version of the device), games new generation as Mad Max hardly took 30 seconds to boot from servers Nvidia (in Europe has in Germany and Ireland) and remained constant resolution and fps (1080p 60fps) at all times, no apparent falls frame rate and quality, but obviously this will depend greatly on the quality of the internet user, among other factors such as the type of connection, either cable or WiFi.
Another Shield interesting feature is streaming from the PC using Nvidia technology. With a simple touch we can do streaming from our library of Steam games to the console, but of course the quality will depend, in addition to our local network connection, the power of the PC that is running the game. In the demonstration of Nvidia, with the ultimate Doom, this feature worked properly, and leaving aside a couple of losses punctual at the start quality, the rest of the game remained a 1080p and constant 60fps with all activated effects .
will have to wait thoroughly test this new console Nvidia, but on paper, and based on the evidence that the company has taught us, the thing promises. At the moment its launch will be on June 20, becoming in its version of 16 GB of 199,99 euros , while the Pro version SHIELD 500 GB will do it for 299.99 euros. The console will come together with the gamepad, but if we want to control TV (including microphone) will add another 54.99 euros price, and other 54.99 euros for each additional game controller that want to buy.
