The NVIDIA GeForce Now service is constantly evolving and will soon allow Eidos Montreal's Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy to be streamed with active ray tracing, and New World, Amazon Games' acclaimed MMO that will add to a rich catalog from over 1100 games which already includes 90 free to play and 30 games that appeared for free on the Epic Games Store. All of these titles will soon be playable at 120 FPS at 1440p resolution thanks to the new NVIDIA GeForce Now RTX 3080 subscription plan, made possible by the new SuperPOD server and in pre-order from today in Europe and North America for Founders and Priority Early Access members. Effective availability is set for November in the United States and December in Europe. But the exact dates are still missing.

NVIDIA GeForce Now RTX 3080 subscription plan adds to standard subscription and free access The name of the new GeForce Now premium plan corresponds to the estimated power of the in-game experience that , as stated by NVIDIA, corresponds to that offered by a system equipped with 35 TFLOP of graphics power supported by a Ryzen Threadripper Pro 3955WX CPU with 16 cores and 8 threads for each two GPU, 28 GB of RAM at 3200 MHz for GPU and SSD PCIe 4. Enough to guarantee 1440p at 120 frames per second at a price of € 99.99 which includes 8 hour gaming sessions, compared to 6 on the basic paid plan which is also limited to 1080p at 60 FPS , and dedicated servers, to guarantee privileged access. In addition, the plan also provides for native 4K at 60 Hz in HDR on Shield TV, as long as you have a connection with at least 40 Mb / s download speed.

The evolution of the NVIDIA GeForce Now service, here the titles arriving in October, also includes the implementation of Adaptive Sync which, as in the case of monitors, guarantees the perfect distribution of frames, in this case synchronizing first the images generated by the GPU with the video capture and then the server with the client. Something that also guarantees consistency in latency, also improved thanks to the passage to 120 fps which in the case of Destiny 2 played NVIDIA GeForce Now RTX 3080 helped to reach an excellent average of 56 milliseconds. Among other things, this feature will be available to all subscribers, regardless of the selected plan which, we remind you, currently also provides an intermediate formula from € 49.99 in addition to a completely free plan, but limited to sessions of only one. now.

The new SuperPOD servers

The NVIDIA GeForce Now RTX 3080 plan, apparently only available in a semi-annual version, is made possible by the new Nvidia SuperPOD server which required a lot of work. Under the knife for 10 years, the new NVIDIA SuperPOD server guarantees a drastic increase in power with an arsenal of 39,200 TFLOPs generated by 11,477,760 CUDA cores and 8960 CPU cores. It therefore makes possible the NVIDIA GeForce Now RTX 3080 subscription plan which offers a power 70 times higher than that of a laptop with Intel UHD 620 and 13 times higher than that of an Apple MacBook Air with M1 chip, taken as a reference given the possibility of take advantage of the NVIDIA service on many mobile devices without dedicated graphics solutions. The leap is also clear compared to a decent desktop configuration, with 7 times more power than a mid-range configuration with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1060 GPU.

Among the new features are also saving custom settings, so they can be called up on any device the next time you log in, and support for 120 FPS for the mobile version for Safari and Chrome and for Microsoft Edge on PC. But the growth of the NVIDIA service does not go through the technological evolution alone, also including the geographical one thanks to a new datacenter in North America, which being located in Montreal is the first in Canada. In addition, the service has expanded into Russia and even Brazil and Singapore, with partnerships aimed at a total market of over 90 million players. An audience to which to offer a service that offers much higher performance than the basic tie, but also to the competition, but bringing the cost to much higher levels.
