Digital Foundry has been sceptical of cloud technology for years - and there's still work to be done, for sure - but the fact is that modern infrastructure and the innovative tech found in GeForce Now prove that it can work:

There's another factor at play too: infrastructure upgrades. As you can see above, the truth is that Nvidia had cracked the latency challenge by the time it launched the GeForce Now RTX 3080 tier. Improvements since have come from higher frequency streaming - 4K120 and 1080p240 are new additions. However, the useability of cloud gaming - especially in the ADSL era - was limited owing to the fact that contention on the same home connection would kill the experience.

GeForce Now isn't a total replacement for a local console, not right now. One of the ways latency is addressed is to pipe frames to the user as quickly as possible, meaning that 'frame pacing' as such can look off. However, it stands as a practical example of how good cloud gaming can be and it's perhaps the only cloud service that has aggressively made good on the other great cloud promise: that the servers would be regularly upgraded with the latest hardware.
