Nvidia is further bolstering its GeForce Now cloud gaming service with browser-based 1440p at 120Hz.
If we take only the technique as the only criterion, then there is no doubt: GeForce Now largely dominates cloud gaming. Whether it’s image quality, low latency or broad device compatibility, Nvidia’s cloud gaming service has a big lead over its competition.
Nvidia owes this advantage in particular to its GeForce RTX 3080 offer that we were able to test, which allows you to go up to 1440p and 120 frames per second. Until now, however, this level of performance was restricted to native applications. Nvidia is blowing that limit today.
120 Hz directly in Google Chrome
Nvidia indeed announces that a ” Chrome browser update that allows streaming games at up to 1440p and 120FPS on PC “. No need to install the application on your machine to enjoy the best that GeForce Now can offer. This high level of frequency is very interesting to reduce the latency of the service to a minimum, even if your screen is limited to 60 Hz. This means that the game is able to process your actions and return the corresponding display 120 times per second.
The brand says this will allow for smoother game streaming. even on underpowered PCs “. Be careful though, you will need a machine capable of downloading and decoding live a 2560 x 1440 pixel video stream at 120 frames per second through a browser.
As long as to give news of its service, Nvidia indicates that it has exceeded the 1300 games available on its GeForce Now catalog. This week, the firm added:
- Thymesia (New Steam release, August 18)
- Century: Age of Ashes (Steam)
- Clanfolk (Steam)
- coromone (Steam)
- HYPERCHARGE: Unboxed (Steam)
- Phoenix Point (Epic Games Store)
Remember that the strength and the disadvantage of GeForce Now lies in the fact that you must own the games to access it. It is not a catalog integrating the games. It’s also a strength, because we’re talking about games you may already own, on Steam, the Epic Games Store, and other supported stores.
