Forums - Gaming Discussion - Kaboom: Nvidia Is Making Its Own Gaming System

i have just 1 question, does the screen flip all the way out? it looks as though its only half open.



Around the Network

It might end up like the Neogeo pocket



CPU: Ryzen 7950X
GPU: MSI 4090 SUPRIM X 24G
Motherboard: MSI MEG X670E GODLIKE
RAM: CORSAIR DOMINATOR PLATINUM 32GB DDR5
SSD: Kingston FURY Renegade 4TB
Gaming Console: PLAYSTATION 5

Wow, cant wait to play Angry Birds on this.



So. Let me see if I've get this right.

This is basically another Android gaming device that you can connect to a TV with the HDMI port but with the adition that you can also connect it to a PC with an Nvidia GTX card (so bye, bye AMD users) and when you do that, you can play the PC games that you usually play on you PC monitor/TV on its 5" screen or the TV...

Am I missing something?

And, I know it's in beta, but if the video linked by Godchild1020 is an indication of the "no lag" experience, then I'm ver, very skeptical

Look at the close up with the pics showing in the pad and the TV, at 00:40.



Please excuse my bad English.

Well that was unexpected...

It even looks quite good. If you could get Steam on the thing then I'd be all over it, but if it's just a glorified Android device then I'm uncertain.

Also, the 4k playback is cool. However, I'd imagine that would really inflate the price...

The important thing is that all these experimental or actually sold devices are held together by the same environment, Android, so just like what happened with the traditional x86+DOS/Windows PC, the market can be left free to naturally evolve and decide which devices will succeed, while the unity of the environment is kept. And in the end, even the least successful ones will have the Android library available, this could be an important selling point to exploit also in marketing: just like in the PC market, as long as the driver support is present, you don't run a risk even choosing an uncommon device.

Impressive to say the least. What about price and games, not to mention release date?

Releases Q2 of this year according to IGN according to Nvidia.

that's TV-lag(differs by TV and sometimes by the HDMI port you use) - that lag between pad and TV would be the same with any console on that TV

what's on the pads screen is streamed from PC aswell and should generally have lower latency



So we have 3 Android gaming consoles entering the market this gen? That's too many. Good luck to these guys, they will need it.



Before the PS3 everyone was nice to me :(

Well, if it's the latency of the TV then fine.

But the streaming from the PC is by WiFi? Because I don't know for others, but my experience with WiFi is that it doesn't work as well as it should more often than not.

And after all, Nintendo sinvested a lot of time to solve that, both for the console and the controller. What could have Nvidia done only on the controller side to avoid it?
