Even with numerous phones and PC setups having the capability to support 4K games that were locally installed. Today, that changes. And there’s a whole lot more to today’s GeForce NOW update. There’s also additional support for streaming games at 120 frames per second on Android devices. As well as a new crop of games being added to the library of games you can stream.
NVIDIA adds 4K streaming support for GeForce NOW on PC & Mac
If the computer is your device of choice for GeForce NOW streaming, then your experience is about to get better from today onwards. That is, if you subscribe to the RTX 3080 tier. If you do, then the PC and Mac apps now support 4K streaming for games. The 4K resolution is available in the native apps for both PC and Mac, and games also run at 60 frames per second. Additionally, the RTX 3080 tier now supports five more Android devices for the 120Hz frame rate. This includes the Samsung Galaxy S22 and Galaxy S22 Ultra, the Samsung Galaxy Z Fold 3, the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip 3, and the OnePlus 9 Pro. Unfortunately, your device isn’t supported if it’s not listed here or if it wasn’t supported already. Even if it has a 120Hz display. Though that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t hold out hope that support won’t eventually arrive.
