GeForce Now is a great option for gamers who are waiting out the GPU market crunch. As one of the only cloud gaming services with a Free plan and access to multiple free-to-play games, it’s an excellent way to get your gaming fix—provided you have a compatible games library of your own. The paid plans are also good, with the same bring-your-own-games caveat.
