Next-Gen Gaming, Everywhere GeForce NOW is the easiest upgrade for gamers who want to transform their low-spec devices into high-performance GeForce gaming rigs. Members play the latest PC games without waiting for downloads, installs, patches or updates.
The new GeForce NOW RTX 3080 membership delivers an instant upgrade in performance for common hardware - a 70x increase for the average laptop on Steam, 13x for an M1-based Macbook Air and 7x for the most popular desktop configuration on Steam.
The next generation of cloud gaming is powered by the GeForce NOW SuperPOD, built on the second-gen RTX, NVIDIA Ampere architecture. This performance leap is rendered in the cloud. Members connect to gaming servers supercharged with GPUs based on the NVIDIA Ampere architecture. AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO CPUs deliver leadership performance and industry-leading bandwidth.
Translation: GeForce NOW RTX 3080 equals warp-speed gaming.
GeForce NOW RTX 3080 members will have exclusive access to the new servers, streaming at up to 1440p at 120 FPS on PC, 1600p at 120 FPS on most MacBooks, 1440p at 120 FPS on most iMacs, 4K HDR at 60 FPS on NVIDIA SHIELD TV and up to 120 FPS on select Android devices.
