NVIDIA Takes GeForce NOW out of Beta - available with a free limited version

GeForce NOW game stream service from beta. There is a free variant with play sessions of a maximum of one hour and a paid variant without limits, which temporarily costs 5.49 euros per month.

The paid version costs € 5.49 per month right now. The free version offers sessions with a maximum duration of one hour. The raytracing effects are stripped out of in the non-paid version. For the monthly amount you will receive sessions of a maximum of six hours, RTX effects switched on and priority access. This is 90 days free to try. System requirements for NVIDIA's GeForce Now are as stands:

  • 15 Mbps internet connection (25 Mbps recommended). A 5 GHz network is preferred if using wireless.
  • Any Windows PC running Windows 7 (64-bit) or higher, 4 GB of system memory, a 2.0 GHz dual-core X86 CPU or higher and a GPU that supports DirectX 11.
  • Any Mac with macOS 10.10 or higher.
  • Any Nvidia Shield TV (2015, 2017, 2019; Base and Pro models).
  • Any Android phone running Android 5.0 (L) or higher and 2 GB of system memory.
  • A Bluetooth gamepad is strongly recommended, including the Shield controller, Razer Raiju and Junglecat Mobile, or Steelseries Stratus Duo.

For the free model, you get top pay 60 minutes and get a timer on-screen displaying how much game time is left. If the hour has passed, you'll be forced out and you'll need to wait in a queue to get another hour again.

This is ideal for best possible smooth results https://i.imgur.com/J1qyrzt.png At least it was for me, i tested all possible combinations with a lot of games since 14 months. Just change Max Bitrate for your connection. specs.

what?

this doesn't use your local steam library, any games you install are installed to the gfn cloud.

You are right, the screen saying "installing on C:\...." was just disturbing me. Of course everything runs on their servers.

I grabbed the premium option it has 90 days of "trial" after that time they gonna charge you.
So far connection quality is average at best on 100/100 fiber line, with PC in high priority in QoS, unlocked ports and 15-20ms ping, 0.0 lost frames, maybe too much people are hammering the servers or not, first impressions are bad ;)
Tested on "Balanced settings" and on manual 25-30Mb/s

I have opposite experience, im from Israel, we dont have this service, yet i signed up for premium , used EU server, set the settings to max, forced 50Mbps, disabled "Adjust for poor network condition" option that increases compression and/or lowers the resolution, resolution is FHD/60
Their test gave me 57ms ping.
I played Destiny 2 for first time, played 2-3 hours, zero issues, felt like native, sometimes i had that Icon on screen that showed lag but it was imidietly gone.
Destiny can increase rendering, i set to 200%, it wasn't 4K but it was better then just FHD, played with xbox gamepad like I always do since i use OLED TV for monitor its 55inch so playing with keyboard is uncomfortable.

and im on 1G/100MB fiber + "Gamer package"
