![]() ![]() So why not essentially rent the card from Nvidia? Moreover, my LG C1 TV has the GeForce Now smart TV app, meaning no more trailing a wire from my office into my living room to play games on a big set. Sadly, I'm not willing to sell a kidney to buy one. Having upgraded everything in my PC except for my GeForce RTX 2070 Super a year ago – you can read about that process here – I've started feeling like the Turing-era card has become a bottleneck in games and it certainly isn't making the most of my Asus monitor.Īn RTX 3080 or better would be a fine replacement. Additionally, GeForce Now's servers are based on a Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX CPU with 16 cores and 28GB of system memory Is an RTX 2070 Super outdated? ![]() However, the cloud GPU has 600GB/s of bandwidth, less than the desktop's 760GB/s. It has more CUDA cores (9,216) and a massive 24GB of GDDR6, much more than the consumer version's 10GB/12GB. The limitation may not sound like much, but it's a paradigm shift from playing your games locally the old fashioned and trusted way.Īs a side note, the GPUs Nvidia uses in the cloud are not standard desktop cards, but an A10G GPU based on the same GA102 silicon as the RTX 3080. Nvidia says there are no limits on how many times a member may start a new session in a day, though there might be a wait to restart a session if you're on a lower tier. Subscribers have limited session lengths, too: 1 hour on Free, 6 hours on Priority, and 8 hours on Ultimate. Nvidia recently announced it would be upgrading the Ultimate tier to RTX 4080 GPUs for the same price. There are three tiers: a free one that uses a "basic rig," a Priority level for $9.99 per month that offers hardware capable of 1080p resolution at 60 FPS, and the $19.99 per month Ultimate tier that offers RTX 3080-like hardware, up to 4K resolution, and up to 120 FPS. GeForce Now is Nvidia's take on game streaming that lets users play the games they own from the cloud with all processing taking place on their hardware. Stream your games instantly to a device of your choice, no setup or download necessary. However the concept itself is a compelling one in theory. Game streaming services are still relatively new, but in their short life you could say none have really exploded in popularity, and some have completely failed, like Google Stadia. Game streaming: How is GeForce Now different? But there may be another option, one that supposedly allows you to play games on an RTX 3080 (and eventually an RTX 4080) on a subscription model. Several recent games, however, have started to recommend newer, more powerful GPUs like the RTX 2070 ( Dead Space) or even the RTX 3070 ( Plague Tale Requiem).īuying a new graphics card is more expensive than ever before, especially if you're aiming for a high-end GPU. It used to be that even the latest AAA titles would recommend a GTX 1060 or 1650, the top two most popular cards on the Steam survey. But the price that comes with more realistic graphics, ray tracing, and other fancy systems is more demanding hardware requirements. ![]()
