Nvidia Revamps GeForce Now For Mac And PC


Nvidia wants everyone to have access and to experience its hardware. With it being impossible to fit a GTX 1080 into a MacBook, has introduced a new version of its GeForce Now game streaming software that allows users to play any game they own from the likes of Steam, Origin, and Uplay on any Mac or PC. This will let PC gamers access its top-end hardware without needing to assemble a gaming PC. The GeForce Now service uses GTX 1080-equipped machines in data centers to stream games to PCs and Macs. Pricing starts at US$25 for 20 hours of play on a GTX 1060 PC, or 10 hours of play on a GTX 1080 PC. A demo of 8 hours on a GeForce GTX 1060 PC, or 4 hours on a GTX 1080 PC will be available. The new service works like a virtual desktop; users see a full Windows install on logging in. From there, they can load up regular versions of Steam, Battle.net, Origin, Uplay, and GOG and download any game they like from their existing library. While I don’t believe in game streaming services, if you’re a Mac users this seems really compelling and I will definitely give the Demo a try. Thoughts ?
