It doesn’t actually use the RTX 3080 graphics card, but rather a server that spits out roughly equivalent performance. The newest tier promises performance that’s equivalent to NVIDIA’s RTX 3080 high-end graphics card ( which is in very short supply right now).

You can access this for $9.99/month, or $49.99 for six months access. The Priority tier sticks to 1080p at 60fps, but adds ray tracing, a session length of up to six hours, and priority access to servers to cut down on queues. There are two premium tiers: Priority and RTX 3080. You only get standard access to servers, so you may encounter queues, but it’s perfect for testing out the service before you buy. The Free tier offers up to 1080p at 60fps, with a session length that’s limited to an hour. Instead, NVIDIA’s streaming service offers a few different tiers that correspond to different levels of performance and fidelity. This includes many free-to-play games, but unlike competing services GeForce NOW library of games doesn’t change with a premium membership. You can connect your Steam, Epic Games Store, or Ubisoft Connect account to GeForce NOW and get access to over 1000 games over the cloud. GeForce NOW is unique in the cloud gaming space in that it allows you to play games that you already own. In addition to GeForce NOW there is Google Stadia, Microsoft’s Xbox Cloud Gaming, Sony’s PlayStation Now, and Amazon Luna. Now, though, there are many different cloud gaming services, and each attempt to solve the problem of remote gaming on low-powered devices in their own way. Cloud gaming first appeared with the arrival of the OnLive service, which launched in 2010 and finally shut down in 2015.
