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.

Supposedly they are using their previous Pascal-based servers for the free tier - or at least want the option to, when RTX instances are being used by paying customers.
The premium tier also has 3 free months to try.
Taking RTX out of the free version... not sure that's smart. Better show people what they'd get and try to lure them in.

I dunno .... Most people know what RTX is ... Are probably interested to see what it looks like if they haven't already so would probably pay the extra just too see what it looks like.

Ah, makes sense.

Which is apparently cheaper, less laggy + allows you to use your existing steam library without the need to purchase games specifically on their platform (unlike Stadia).

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

It seems that if you have installed your STEAM games on an other hard disk you have to download them again to the standard location (on C:/). Too bad....

If you ignore internet server's thing, it is butter smooth gaming, odyssey, origins and witcher 3 are as fluid as you are gaming on high end rig.

Now we need origin games. I do not know if other things are missing.
Epic launcher, Steam launcher, Uplay client and Bethesda .net are all working perfectly, great free PC upgrade for all those games there. Good job Nvidia.

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

Can I ask anyone who has the service,is 4K available option to play games.
EDIT: I was searching Nvidia forums and this person was in beta and a member so they say.
1080p capped at 60FPS which games barely kept to then added with stuttering / pixelation Competitive setting shows 120fps cap but only at 720p
Home 560 down
Office 1000 down

You can manually set it to 4K but I definitely wouldn’t do it. I tried to bump it to 2k and man it wasn’t even playable with a 1 gb internet connection hardliners in.
