![]() ![]() This was perhaps the most impressive showing yet for what GeForce Now is capable of. This results in the best cloud gaming experience I’ve had, with minimal lag helping games feel more responsive and enjoyable.īack on the laptop, I fired up Cyberpunk 2077, one of the games Nvidia is highlighting for its support of ray tracing. Nvidia also includes Adaptive Sync technology to help make gameplay smooth. By lowering the latency, the pause between pressing a key or moving a joystick and the movement happening onscreen is reduced. This is what makes games feel more responsive when played. Nvidia has also been working hard to make sure latency is as low as possible with the RTX 3080 GeForce Now tier. With the increase in graphical fidelity and resolution, Nvidia now recommends a 70Mbps internet connection for playing at 1440p at 120fps, something my network just reaches. GeForce Now was already an impressive alternative to Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming and Google’s Stadia services, so I was excited to see how this new, improved GeForce Now tier would work.Ī laptop as thin and light as the HP Dragonfly G2 has no right to be able to play Far Cry 6 (Image credit: Future / Ubisoft) Nvidia’s expertise with servers and streaming clearly paid off. Playing a game of that scope and ambition on a smartphone was both impressive and exciting. I was able to load up Assassin’s Creed: Valhalla on my smartphone with the GeForce Now app and play through a couple of missions using the excellent Razer Kishi smartphone controller. The biggest ‘wow’ moment, however, came when my TV was commandeered for some sort of sporting event that involved kicking balls. This included playing Fortnite on a MacBook and Planet Coaster on a Chromebook – games that wouldn’t usually be playable on those devices. While games didn’t look as good as games played on my local gaming rig, due to the lower resolutions, the games I played were impressively responsive. (This used to be the highest subscription level for $4.99 a month.) Like the current Priority membership, it gave users priority access to the servers, gameplay sessions of up to six hours, and more powerful hardware than the free version of the service, which isn't capable of ray tracing graphics. GeForce Now has been around for a while and I’ve generally had a pretty good experience with the service using the Founders Edition subscription. The gaming session time is also raised up to eight hours now, up from six in the Priority tier.(Image credit: Nvidia) Building on a good foundation This seems like a significant leap over what is currently offered with Priority membership that allows 1080p60. 7.1 channel audio will be also be supported on the Shield. On Shield TVs, the visual side is extended up to 4K with HDR, although the framerate is brought back to 60fps. 120Hz gaming is also supported on capable Android devices like the Galaxy S21. With this premium membership, users will get more frames and more resolution, up to 120fps at 1440p resolution on PCs and Macs (1440p for most iMacs and 1600p for most MacBooks). Founders and Priority members can pre-order the RTX 3080 membership now. It will be available in North America starting in November and in Europe from December. ![]() Dubbed "GeForce NOW RTX 3080 membership", the new option will bring the power of the RTX 3080 for its users and the service is going to cost $99.99 for six months, which is about double that of what the current Priority membership pack is priced at. Nvidia today is launching a top-end premium tier membership for its GeForce Now (GFN) cloud gaming service.
