Nvidia GeForce Now already holds the crown as one of the best cloud gaming services, and it’s about to get even better. At CES 2023, Team Green announced that it is installing the best graphics card on its platform, and the new RTX 4080 tier will completely replace the old RTX 3080 subscription. In addition, Nvidia is also partnering with car manufacturers to operate the platform. in electric vehicles. .
The upcoming RTX 4080 Superpod features 64 TFLOPs, which Nvidia claims is around five times faster than Xbox Series X. It supports up to 240Hz with a competitive Reflex mode for a low latency of 34ms, perfect for shooters where every millisecond counts. Also includes full ray tracing with DLSS 3 in supported games. Other than that, you can expect everything else on the Ultimate plan to remain the same, with resolutions up to 4K and eight-hour long sessions.
The RTX 4080 tier will be available at the end of January if you are in the US or in the first quarter of the year internationally. Existing Ultimate members will receive an automatic upgrade at no additional cost of $19.99 / £17.99. It’s still unclear if this is just a stale price with an increase on the horizon or if it will stay that low for the foreseeable future, but we found incredible value for money in our Nvidia GeForce Now RTX 3080 review. , you could get a subscription for almost 60 months, almost five years, before you hit the cost of a physical RTX 4080, and that’s not including what you’re spending on electricity to try to run the GPU. at full power.
Following in the footsteps of Tesla’s steam powered vehicles, Nvidia is also launching its cloud gaming platform for electric vehicles. Owners of the latest BYD, Hyundai and Polestar vehicles will soon be able to game while charging or let passengers use GeForce Now on the go. It doesn’t seem like you need an Ultimate subscription for it to work, but it will provide the best experience without a lot of limitations.
