Nvidia, the company that comes to mind when it comes to gaming, continues to lead the way in cloud gaming. Announcing one of the biggest updates yet, the company announced the Blackwell architecture and DLSS 4 for GeForce Now. Here are the details of the upcoming update for Nvidia GeForce Now…
GeForce Now Switches to Blackwell Architecture
Nvidia announced that GeForce Now has officially switched to the Blackwell architecture. This change means users will have access to Nvidia’s RTX 5080 hardware, which launched at the beginning of the year. This also means that DLSS 4 technology, which is also available on physical hardware, is now available on the cloud-based service.
With this development, the tech giant’s cloud gaming platform, GeForce Now, powered by DLSS 4, will now be able to stream at 120 FPS at 5K resolution. At 1080p, users will be able to experience gaming at up to 360 FPS if their hardware meets the requirements. Nvidia also announced that players will experience network latency of less than 30 milliseconds.
The most significant difference in this update will be the difference in visual quality. With DLSS 4 and the RTX 5080 processor, there will be a significant difference in graphics. Nvidia states that color accuracy will be improved with the YUV color model and 10-bit HDR support. Furthermore, better network connectivity will be achieved using AV1 codecs, which allow for streaming at up to 100 Mbps.
The GeForce Now library is also growing rapidly. In addition to the games to be added on launch day, more than 2,200 Steam games are expected to be added to the cloud. Ultimate and Performance members will receive 100 GB of single-session cloud storage. It is understood that more storage will be available for an additional fee.
There are no changes to the membership structure. Ultimate memberships remain at $19.99 per month, and Performance memberships at $9.99. This major update to GeForce Now will begin rolling out to users in September. It’s unknown whether there will be a price change in Turkey.
