NVIDIA job listing also revealed a new loyalty program called Club GeForce, which will later develop into Club GeForce Elite for those who can pay 10 USD a month. They will receive free games, free ‘GeForce PC in the cloud’ and exclusive in-game items. The PC in the cloud is most likely based on GRID technology.

Here’s the quote from the job listing.

Give me free 1080 for telemetry if old.

The LinkedIn job post is still up it seems lol - https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/220941257
 
I'm honestly not seeing anything there worth $10 a month.

e: I mean, it doesn't look like anything particularly different to Alienware arena or whatever its called, which is free and I also can't be arsed to even regularly look at.
 
10 dollars each month to receive 1 indie game each year seems a very bad deal honestly. I think nobody cares for in-game skin or the chance to win a game, honestly.

I think the 1 free game a year is for everyone.

Elite members will get 4 games per quarter.
 
I dont really understand the pc in the cloud. It mean your able to play a pc more powerful from your from a cloud? Similar to Playstation Now?

Something like that but with PC games. Bet this is coming from their AWS relationship.
 
980ti owners stay winning. That being said, $10 a month is a bit much. If the 1080ti comes out around the same time as this program launching then I'll be willing to jump in.

Damn so if I sign up, I'll be able to step my 980Ti up to a 1080Ti?

Yes, I will join. Thankyouverymuch.

Don't expect them to help you out financially on that front - more that you may get the chance to avoid the usual release-window idiocy and hopelessly puny supply of new cards that plagues every Nvidia release.

It basically sounds like an alternative to the much-hated Founder's Edition program: create scarcity and then mitigate it by making people pay more.

I might actually be in to that. I was gonna hold on to my 980ti for the foreseeable future but if I could get a 1080ti for not insane prices I would consider it.
 
I'm thinking I don't need another subscription service that gives out free and mostly disappointing games with one or two good ones thrown in sometimes. Not sure I see anything there very interesting. I guess if I traveled for work a lot the cloud streaming thing would be good to use on my work laptop in a hotel room........but I don't travel for work.

I didn't know Geforce Experience has an app store. Is Nvidia planning to compete with Steam?

Don't think so. It's for their exclusive Shield games and Cloud streaming I believe it's probably a play to get engagement levels up and help lock people into their ecosystem.

I mean "step up" has very specific connotations in the GPU space (EVGA). But you could be right. Who knows.
 
I'm gonna ride this 980 Ti until the 1180. I'm gaming at 1080p and getting 100FPS+ in nearly every game I play. I can't complain. The 980 Ti has felt like overkill for my needs for sometime. The 1180 isn't going to give me what I really want 4K@60FPS+. I may not even upgrade at that point. We'll see.
 
looking to upgrade my 980 ti when the 1080 ti hits and all... but this 'program' sounds pretty stupid at $120/yr
 
I would bite if it were 60 per year


For 120 bucks that's more than I pay for Amazon prime

I would want to upgrade from 980ti sli to single 1080ti, but not for a shitty founders edition

Any GFE user gets:

Free full copy of exclusive Indie game (1x/year)

Exclusive hardware discounts for gaming gear

Paid sub gives:

Free GeForce PC in the cloud subscription
Exclusive skins, in-game items, and GeForce Gear

as far as I read it
 
I've been waiting forever to upgrade my 770 because I'm the most indecisive person ever. I'm hoping between this and AMD's Vega offering I can finally break into higher resolutions and 60 FPS. :3

Misunderstanding on my part, but none of that seems worth $60 a year. Maybe $10
 
The only interesting part is the 980 Ti to 1080 Ti upgrade offer, might be interested in that. However I would not be surprised if it means something like upgrade to reference model and only offered in the US.

Sure, it's a bit steep and until I can actually see whats offered I wont touch it.

However value is person on person based and I don't find a service like PSN worthy of the asking price so ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

I doubt its going to be the 'custom' models. Most likely founders editions and such.

Which is still garbage considering Humble Monthly is $12-13 more a year and you get a total of 72 games a year. PS+/XBL also nets you a ton of games for half the cost of both Humble and this.

Not to mention this indirectly competes with Netflix, Prime, Crunchyroll, Hulu, Patreon, Spotify, Twitch and the ever growing monthly sub boxes etc. etc. People only have so much money to spend on monthly subs and with so many wonderful things out there they use on a daily basis why drop something for 4 games a quarter that most likely will be an indie game you got from humble 2 years ago.
 
Stepping up my 980ti to a 1080ti?


I'm fucking there!


I have no interest in a sub, so I hope I don't have to sub to do that.

If you have an EVGA card they offer a "step-up" program without the need for this subscription nonsense.
 
Why would they offer a 980ti step up to 1080ti? It makes no sense and why burn.bridges with 1080 owners over it? That part of this seems fishy.

The offer seems very non-nvidia of them I certainly would not get my hopes up.
