Zininzi izinto ezinokwenziwa kwiLifu. Unokugcina idatha, unokubukela iimuvi, kunye neenkonzo ezifana neNetflix, iHulu okanye i-Youzee eSpain; ungamamela umculo, ngeSpotify, okanye iGrooveshark; kwaye unokufunda iincwadi, ezineempawu ezingama-24, umzekelo. Kwaye inyaniso kukuba sele kukho imidlalo enemisebenzi kwi-Cloud, enokuthi idlalwe kulo lonke ihlabathi ngokufikelela kwi-server kwi-Intanethi. Ngoku, babenokufikelela Android, kwaye wenze ngesandla ngesandla Gaikai, omnye wabakhuphisani be-OnLive. Eli qonga lemidlalo yelifu linokuqalisa ukusetyenziswa kwalo kwisiqingatha sesibini salo nyaka 2012.
Gaikai, ngokungafaniyo ne-OnLive, igxininise ngokukodwa kwimarike yemidlalo yevidiyo yesizukulwana esitsha, eyona nto inamandla, kunye neyona nto ifuna kakhulu, yiyo loo nto, ngaphezu koko, kude kube ngoku akunakwenzeka ukubenza badlale kwizixhobo eziphathwayo abangazange bazenze. Andinawo amandla emizobo okanye amandla okuqhuba ukuhambisa ezo zixa zolwazi.
kunjalo, Nvidia isebenzisana nale nkonzo, kwaye yile chip yakho entsha Kepler izakusetyenziswa ngu Gaikai kumhlaba jikelele. Iqonga lomdlalo wevidiyo kwiLifu lenze iiseva ezilungiselelwe le processor ukuze yonke into isebenze njengekhubalo, isasaza ezi ndawo kwiindawo ezahlukeneyo zehlabathi.
Kwimidlalo yevidiyo, kuhlala kukho ingxaki ye-latency, okanye team, nto leyo eyenza ukuba sibe nemvakalelo yokuba umdlalo ungaphezulu okanye ngaphantsi kokwenyani. Ukuba i-latency inkulu kakhulu, kuya kwenzeka ntoni ukuba ukususela kumzuzu sithumela umyalelo de uphunyezwe, ixesha elide kakhulu liya kudlula, okwenza umdlalo ube nzima. Ingxaki yangoku nge-Cloud yokudlala yayiyiloo nto team Yayinkulu kakhulu. Ngoku ngeteknoloji I-GeForce GRID ecaleni Gaikai, bayasiqinisekisa ukuba kuya kubakho i-latency ephantsi nangaphezu kweyomdlalo oqhelekileyo we-console oqhagamshelwe kumabonwakude. Okwangoku, ekuphela kwento esiyaziyo kukuba okwangoku basebenzela ukulungelelanisa iqonga Android kwaye oko kuya kufika kwisiqingatha sesibini salo nyaka 2012.
