So, what's the performance of BG3 in Act 3, in streaming?

I had an unfortunate incident of my GPU going kaputt this summer, and while waiting for the warranty repair I tried playing games on an older machine. But not that old, at the onset of lockdown it was considered new. And on that rig, BG3 suffered even in Act 1. The game after a few minutes would go from nice 45+ FPS on ultra to 10-15 on lowest graphics settings, staying in that slow mode for up to hours. It wasn't correlated with GPU temperature, or fixable by some weird setting.

I wasn't aware of GeForce Now. Maybe I would shell out a few bucks. Assuming the savegames would be transferred eventually to my gaming PC with GPU replaced. There, BG3 works fine in Act 3 (except for crashing in one area, fortunately it's a side-quest that can be skipped).

Seems to me a software bug, and I suspect owners of rigs in between encounter it only in Act 3.

Avoiding such horror stories could be an incentive to use streaming, even though GeForce Forge doesn't seem to have a free tier the same way Stadia did, it might make for it in other aspects. (it has a free tier however for 1 hour daily, and right now I have 52 gamers ahead of me waitlisting. I'm curious about BG3 performance there, so I'll wait it out)
