Unlike GeForce Now, you can’t change your graphical fidelity within games, so what you get is what you get.
For some reason, Macs are locked at 1080p, the Base version of Stadia is locked to 1080p, and of course, you’ll need a fast and stable internet connection, or your resolution will drop.
There’s no list of games that are actually pushing a true 4K image, but even Shadow of the Tomb Raider – one of the only games running at native 4K – can only do so at 30fps.īut even then, the criteria isn’t black and white. Destiny 2 renders at a native 1080p that’s upscaled to 4K and Doom Eternal offers 1800p up-sampled to 2160p on 4K displays. It’s worth noting that in the games we tested, Google’s streaming service isn’t actually pushing a true 4K image. Stadia also does a great job of rendering HDR colors – such as on the Moon in Destiny 2, the psychedelic corridors of Thumper, or the vibrant hellscapes of Doom Eternal. When tested alongside GeForce Now, it was far less prone to latency or GeForce Now’s disruptive rubber-banding effects. And get this, I wasn’t even playing on Nightmare.Įven so, I’m still pretty impressed with Stadia’s performance. In an hour of gaming, Stadia slowed down or got so blurry I spent much of the hour dying over-and-over again in the same room in Doom Eternal. When I moved to the furthest corner of my house, it was a different story. In fact, in a dozen or so hours of testing, I only experienced a handful of quality drops and brief input stutter, and each recovered in a matter of seconds. I listened to Spotify, streamed YouTube TV, and played the game, but my connection remained stable. When I was near my router, the games I played performed flawlessly. If your internet is dodgy, the first thing to go is your resolution, then your gameplay. You can actually make out the rock face in the background compared to the crushed mass of pixels seen in the Xbox One X's rendering. The second image above highlights Stadia's ability to show longer draw distances. Google Stadia Google Stadia vs Xbox One X
