On the GDC company NVIDIA I introduced a new device under Android TV – a television prefix of the SHILD family. She "fully reveals the potential of the OS" and can become a "serious gaming machine".
On Shield you can not only install the game optimized for Android (will even pull Crysis), but also to reproduce them "from the cloud" thanks to the support of the NVIDIA Grid service. At the moment, it has more than 50 items, and the library is constantly expanding – for purchase and streaming will be available including The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt And Batman: Arkham Knight. NVIDIA TEGRA X1 processor with 256-core GPU based on Maxwell and 3 GB RAM provides 4K Ultra-HD support with 4K playing and up to 60 FPS (other specifications on the official website).
The console will appear on sale in the United States in May of this year at a price of $ 199, and will reach Europe in the second half of the year. The kit also includes a company controller. Remote control and stand for the vertical location of Shield.

I alone do not https://patrick-spins.uk/login/ understand why the console is needed on android, launching the old PC games when there is PS4 (well, PC by itself)?
For me, Nvidia soars that the tender on the chips for the AMD console was leaked, now it is perverted with its "prefixes").
If there is a good Internet, this device can save a lot of money, t.To. Nvidia Grid can broadcast AAA in high quality, as if we would launch them on our PC. For example, in order to play the witcher 3 at the maximum graphics settings, you will not have to fork out the pC upgrade, or buy a console, and here the devices are 2 times cheaper than the console, which shows the picture no worse than the ultra of the settings for PC. Of course, there are not so many games that support this service, but this is a profit.
Another thing, if there is no good Internet, then this device becomes less useful.
Seriously. He himself did not believe it at first until he was walking. Not even the first, but the 3rd Crysis was launched on this device, while the game gives out 30 fps
at least two of us! The most interesting thing is that she does not launch anything herself, but the stupid receiver is a retransalator 🙂 This is all the first Shild, the prefix with 4 tegra. All these "relics" in the form of x1 are not needed for this.
It will not take off as:
1. The console costs $ 200 and the games still have to buy or pay for the subscription, so the saving $ 200 compared to the console (for example, PS4) is somehow doubtful, given the fact that the library will be very limited in games, and you should not even talk about exclusives.
2. Advantages of the type 4K, very doubtful. If this is a striming, then the Internet channel should be frantic, and the servers work like a clock (if they are interesting in Russia?), but even 1080 is normal to do without lags, etc. So far, no one can.
But why starting the android applications in 4k is also interesting;)
3. A person who can afford a normal 4K TV or a monitor is unlikely to try to save on the most important thing for which is the expensive 4K and was bought.
The fact that TGRA X1 is actually not news, this chip is not much behind the PS4 in power, only who and how often there will be such games to portle on Andrah ..
I think you yourself know that 2000 MHz on Arm and the same 2 thousand for x86 are fundamentally different indicators.
What difference does it make, the teraflops are not megagerians, I did not write about the dials on the processor that have long mean little, it is like CPU from Intel and AMD, the AMD has large, and the sense of gulkin’s nose.
It is obvious that they were spoiled, just putting and starting obviously it will not work, how at all you came to the conclusion that they simply installed and launched the game?)
Even Crysis? Seriously? And I wonder if the NVIDIA Shield tablet will pull this game? I made an upgrade a couple of years ago for this game, and it is released on portables.
NVIDIA chip on a tablet/mobile phone has a power of 1.2TF, for example, PS4 has 1.8TF, and PS3 0.5TF, if you have been launched on PS3, then even more so is not a problem.
