"There is not a native app on Steam deck today," said Andrew Fear, GFN boss, back in January. "Use a Chromium browser to make it work. I would say that both Nvidia and Valve, I think we're both interested in making [GeForce Now on Steam Deck] better. But we don't have any announcements on a native app coming to Steam."

Comments here are fun, seem a 3 way split between people thinking it’s GeForce Experience, game stream, and finally the actual cloud streaming service running your own Steam games.

Yeah it's crazy. I don't see what's negative in having a GeForce Now app on Steam Deck, it's always better to have choices.

Nvidia have truly outdone themselves in their effort to make the most confusing marketing decisions. They looked at Nintendo's success at misinforming consumers to think the Wii U was just an addon to the Wii and thought "we can do this better, we have the power of the cloud".

Ah yeah, I also thought it was talking about that awful fucking thing I used to opt not to install alongside my geforce drivers.

[–] Stampela@startrek.website 3 points 1 year ago

Back when I had a 1060 3gb it was awesome! Always giving me nearly flawless settings for games, now with a 3060… we have very strong disagreements about the ideal settings.

That said yeah, a random software to install, that requires a new account and all for the privilege of installing the drivers? Hard sell.

Nvidia: Creates a whole new app for driver updates and ShadowPlay.

Also Nvidia: Creates the most half-assed GPU tuner in the app.

Seriously I can't even undervolt without a third party app. Once PyTorch + ROCm comes to Windows I'm switching back to AMD.
