NVIDIA SHIELD - Working!

[nicoliy]

With the screen as small as it is do you find it hard to see? My wife and I may be having another baby in the next year which will lead to me putting the computer in the basement and giving up my office. I've been looking at getting a laptop so that I can play in the bedroom without disturbing the Mrs; however, if this is viable then I could go this route instead (and upgrade my graphics card since I have a 560 currently).

We don't want the full computer in the room, and I don't want to be a basement dweller, so I need someting more portable to play on.

Final Fantasy 14 on the Shield rocks!!!! I absolutely love playing a full blown mmo with awesome controller support outside on my hammock or in bed as the wifey sleeps next to me. I no longer feel like im tied to the dungeon that is my office. I wanted to share my hardware setup for those that are interested in playing this game, on Ultimate Graphics, using the Nvidia Shield. This setup has no visible lag what so ever in game. I have barely any visible lag in any game for that matter.

PC: i5 2500k OC w/ Corsair H80 Water Cooler
8 gigs ddr3 ram
MSI GTX 770 2gig OC Version
500gig SSD

Router: Apple Airport Extreme 5ghz Freq (2011 model)

I LOVE MY SHIELD!
