That means less bandwidth is eaten up, and less opportunity for lag to creep in, but the image fidelity is still there. It's possible to use the 4K upscaling functionality from 360p through 1440p-it was previously limited to just 720p and 1080p. Users with an Nvidia Shield TV can also play games through GeForce Now, and the service now offers low-res auto upscaling to 4K on the big screen at 60 fps. You can even download the app or access GeForce Now through your Chrome browser, or Safari browser on your Mac or iPhone. As long as you're running macOS version 10.10 or above, you should be fine. And if you only have access to *shudder* a Mac, the service has also been tested on MacBook models from as far back as 2008. There's also a GeForce Now app for Android 5.0 (including Android TV boxes, though that's still in beta), as long as you have 2GB of RAM and a controller that plugs into your device. That could either be an Nvidia GeForce 600 series and up, AMD Radeon HD 3000 series or newer, or it can even run solely on your CPU's integrated graphics-the requirements page (opens in new tab) lists Intel HD Graphics 2000 or newer.
If you have a desktop machine or laptop to play on, it'll need Windows 7 64-bit or above, a dual-core CPU that runs at 2GHz or faster, 4GB of RAM or more, and a GPU that supports DirectX 11. There have been instances of unsupported games working, but a lot of that has now been patched out, with Origin games being the only ones left with a workaround (opens in new tab).Īlthough you're somewhat limited by your hardware with GeForce Now, it will work on even some of the lowliest of PCs and laptops, and there are a host of options that mean you can access GeForce Now from loads of different platforms. Still, the number of GFN supported games (opens in new tab) is potentially a little lacking due to some controversy causing upset (opens in new tab) between GeForce Now and certain game developers.
If you're just getting into PC gaming there's no way to test out games you don't already own, unless a generous loved one will let you have a go through Steam Family Sharing. Either way, it's a service best suited for those who already have a bursting game library.
The service gives you access only to games you already own on Steam,, Epic, and UPlay, although Steam Family Sharing works perfectly well, and GFN Thursday rewards can include some free games, too.
