Benchmarking GeForce NOW

I was bored so I benchmarked Assassin’s Creed:Odyssey on GeForce NOW. GeForce NOW seems to be running on a few different hardware setups and it seems random which one you’ll be allocated each time you start a game. The ones I have benchmarked are configured with an RTX2060c GPU with an Intel CPU named CC-150, and one with a 1080c GPU with an Intel Xeon CPU. As seen below, the setup with the RTX2060c performs really bad, and the one with the 1080c a whole lot better.

UPDATE: I realized that if launching the game directly from the GeForce NOW app rather than starting Steam on it and then starting the game from within that session an instance with a RTX2080c card was available instead of the previously mentioned. Benchmarks for that has been added below, and as can be seen it’s a pretty huge difference.

So, without much further ado, here are the results.

FYI the GeForce NOW settings I have used are: Custom bitrate 50Mbit/s, 1920x1080p resolution, 60FPS, VSync on. I was running the tests on the EU Northwest datacenter. The in-game benchmark tool was used.
