Hands-on: Nvidia's GeForce Now RTX 5080 is better and worse than I hoped
"Today, Nvidia is soft-launching its latest gaming GPUs in the cloud - upgrading its $20-a-month GeForce Now Ultimate cloud gaming service with RTX 5080 graphics for select games, with more to come down the road. At the same time, it's also adding thousands more titles to the bring-your-own-games service by letting you install them yourself, while also unlocking a 360Hz mode for ultra-fast desktop monitors, launching a 90Hz version of its Steam Deck app, and more."
"For the uninitiated, Nvidia's GeForce Now is a game streaming service that farms the graphical processing power out to the cloud. Instead of controlling a game running locally on your Steam Deck or MacBook or phone, you're effectively remote-controlling an RTX 5080 or 4080-powered* gaming rig in a server farm many miles away, which you sync with your existing Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, Xbox, and Battle.net accounts to access your games and savegam"
Nvidia is rolling out RTX 5080 GPUs to GeForce Now Ultimate subscribers and enabling new features including a 360Hz desktop mode and a 90Hz Steam Deck app. Thousands more titles become installable by users through the bring-your-own-games option, expanding the service's playable library. The subscription remains at $20 per month for these upgrades. GeForce Now streams games from cloud-based RTX 5080 or 4080 rigs that link to existing Steam, Epic, Ubisoft, Xbox, and Battle.net accounts to run games remotely. Many of the recent updates are free but deliver incremental improvements rather than wholesale changes.
