Paint It Blackwell

With the NVIDIA Blackwell RTX architecture, GeForce NOW is beaming GeForce RTX 5080-class power from the cloud straight to nearly any device.

GeForce RTX 5080-class GPUs bring a staggering 62 teraflops of compute performance, a 48GB frame buffer, more than 3x the performance of current consoles and 2.8x faster frame rates than previous-generation servers. Advanced ray tracing, richer textures and AI-enhanced rendering with AMD Zen 5 CPUs and NVIDIA ConnectX-7 networking deliver an experience that's more responsive than ever.

It isn't just raw speed either. NVIDIA Blackwell RTX unlocks:

The highest resolutions and frame rates in the cloud: NVIDIA DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation unlocks up to 5K streaming at 120 frames per second (fps) - performance once reserved for the most elite PCs. NVIDIA Reflex technology levels up the cloud for competitive gaming, delivering streams up to 360 fps at 1080p and network latency under 30 milliseconds.

Vastly improved visual fidelity: A new Cinematic Quality Streaming mode delivers richer colors, sharper text and crystal-clear scenes with 4:4:4 chroma sampling, AI sharpening and advanced AV1 encoding - even when network conditions change.

GeForce NOW support on more devices: Premium members will be able to stream at 90 fps on Steam Decks and 4k 120 fps on the Lenovo Legion Go S handheld. Supported LG monitors can stream at up to 5K 120Hz and supported LG TVs at 4K 120Hz - no extra hardware required. Mac users get the full NVIDIA Blackwell RTX upgrade, and there's expanded support for peripherals like Logitech racing wheels.

Plus, collaborations with Comcast, Deutsche Telekom AG and others bring enhanced broadband and 5G performance.
