The
GeForce website announces GeForce Now, a new streaming game service for
Windows and OS X. Word is this will connect to GTX 1080-powered PCs via that
cloud that everybody's so excited about. This will cost $7.99USD per month, and
they are offering one month free. Here's the plan:
For several years
NVIDIA has been building the world's best cloud gaming technology with the
ability to stream at a crystal-clear 1080p 60FPS, with low latency. Today, we're
announcing GeForce NOW for Mac and
PC, a new cloud gaming service that transforms your
Mac or PC into a
high-performance gaming PC by connecting them to blazing-fast
GeForce GTX 1080 gaming PCs hosted in the cloud.
Using our
unparalleled cloud gaming technology, and the performance of the world's
fastest consumer GPUs, you'll be able to play the latest PC games at exceptional
detail levels, with super smooth framerates, for an unrivaled experience that
can otherwise only be obtained through a PC system upgrade.
To use GeForce NOW for Mac and
PC, simply load the GeForce NOW app and install your favorite Steam, Origin,
Uplay, GOG or Battle.net games, that you own, onto your virtual GeForce NOW
GeForce GTX 1080 PC. Once loaded, enjoy your games with high-quality visual
effects, high framerates, and NVIDIA GameWorks effects courtesy of the
cloud-based GeForce GTX 1080 GeForce NOW PCs.
Alternatively, install games that use a dedicated launcher, such as
World of Tanks and
Warframe,
and play with and against other gamers, all via the cloud.
GeForce NOW also makes things easy – all patching, game configuring and driver
updating is handled automatically by the GeForce NOW infrastructure. Even save
games, achievements and other settings are automatically synchronized with
digital game platforms, enabling you to instantly pick up from where you
stopped.
