Shadow Impressions – The Cloud-Based Replacement For Your Gaming PC?
..if you want to build a [gaming] PC from scratch it’s going to cost you a fair amount. Shadow, by Paris-based company Blade, looks to do this as one set monthly price with using what seems to be the first truly working cloud-based PC gaming service
Shadow is a cloud service that allows you to stream a PC direct. Not just a game, but a full PC dedicated solely to you and all you’re doing is streaming it.
€29.95 per month on a twelve-month commitment.
The Shadow PC my account links to has an Intel Xeon e5 2667 v3, accompanied by 12GB of RAM and a Nvidia GTX 1080 with 16GB of VRAM.
