The Priority membership, with a 'premium rig' with RTX graphics (up to 1080p at 60 fps), is $49.99 for six months, or $9.99 per month, and has a six-hour limit. The Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 subscription is available for pre-order for $99.99 for six months and also promises eight-hour gaming sessions. The same goes for phones, tablets and weaker Windows PCs. GeForce Now, Nvidia says, will give Mac users that experience without also needing a PC.

Nvidia's argument here is that Mac users won't need to worry about software compatibility when they stream from the internet because the games run on its servers. And with M1, programs that aren't reworked to run natively need to be emulated through Rosetta 2. (Indie devs have done better in this regard.) Nvidia hopes the Apple faithful will use its service to stream those titles.Īdditionally, many of the games that did work on Mac didn't survive the macOS transition away from 32-bit apps. But while Apple's latest chips have some powerful GPUs, the biggest mainstream video game developers and publishers haven't paid a ton of attention to the Mac in recent years. After all, those with Windows-based gaming PCs already have access to the most popular gaming titles. The Mac is a big part of Nvidia's push with GeForce Now. Additionally, Nvidia is adding updates to PC and Mac users to link Nvidia and Ubisoft accounts to launch Ubisoft Connect games more quickly. In the same blog post, Nvidia announced a limited-time promotion for GeForce Now RTX 3080 memberships or six-month Priority subscriptions to get a free copy of Crysis Remastered on the Epic Games Store. Nvidia clarified that those machines, too, will be able to stream at up to 1600p and 120 fps. The 14-inch and 16-inch MacBook Pros with M1 Pro and M1 Max, have higher resolution displays than the 13-inch Pro and the Air. Nvidia told Tom's Hardware that users will still be able to stream up to 120 frames per second previously as you could at 1080p. Previously, GeForce Now listed only 1080p on Macs at this tier. Specifically, a new update to GeForce Now will allow for gaming at 1600p.īoth of those laptops have 2560 x 1600 displays, so Nvidia is supporting native resolutions. Nvidia is improving the GeForce Now RTX 3080 experience on Apple's M1 laptops, the MacBook Air and 13-inch MacBook Pro.
