Parsec als Linux-Alternative zu NVIDIA GeForce NOW

Aktualisiert am

Unser Fazit

Parsec can be a good replacement for NVIDIA GeForce NOW if you own a Windows or macOS gaming machine and want to stream games to your Linux device. It delivers low-latency, high-quality game streaming with strong controller and resolution support. However, it doesn't provide cloud-hosted games — you need your own remote PC. This makes it ideal for self-hosted streaming, but not a solution for accessing a cloud game library like GeForce NOW offers.

Was gleich funktioniert

  • Both stream games with low latency to remote devices
  • Support up to 4K resolution at 60 FPS
  • Work across platforms, including Linux clients
  • Support gamepad and audio streaming
  • Enable cross-session progress via synced game saves

Was anders ist

  • Parsec requires your own remote Windows/macOS PC; no cloud game library
  • GeForce NOW provides instant access to cloud-hosted games; Parsec does not
  • Parsec does not allow Linux machines to be remotely accessed as hosts
  • GeForce NOW syncs directly with game stores; Parsec relies on your installed library
  • Parsec uses peer-to-peer connections when possible, reducing server costs

Ihre NVIDIA GeForce NOW-Dateien öffnen

Parsec does not interact with GeForce NOW files or configurations. Since GeForce NOW doesn’t store game files locally or export them, there’s no file migration path. Game progress is typically tied to account logins (like Steam or Epic), which both services can access independently. Parsec runs games installed on your host PC, so you must own and install them there. No conversion or import of GeForce NOW settings is possible or needed.

Häufige Fragen

Can I use Parsec to stream games from my Linux PC?

No. Parsec only allows Linux devices to connect as clients — you cannot host a remote session from a Linux machine.

Do I need a subscription to use Parsec?

Parsec offers a free tier with solid features for personal use; paid plans add higher resolution and remote access for work or broadcasting.

Can I use my existing game controllers with Parsec on Linux?
