GeForce NOW\u2019s RTX 3080 membership<\/a> is the next generation of cloud gaming. This GFN Thursday looks at one of the tier\u2019s major benefits: ultra-low-latency streaming from the cloud.<\/p>\n

This week also brings a new app update that lets members log in via Discord, a members-only World of Warships<\/i> reward and eight titles joining the GeForce NOW library<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Full Speed Ahead<\/b><\/h2>\n

The GeForce NOW RTX 3080 membership tier is kind of like magic. When members play on underpowered PCs, Macs, Chromebooks, SHIELD TVs, Android devices, iPhones and iPads, they\u2019re streaming the full PC games that they own with all of the benefits of GeForce RTX 3080 GPUs \u2014 like ultra-low latency.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

A few milliseconds of latency \u2014 the time it takes from a keystroke or mouse click to seeing the result on screen \u2014 can be the difference between a round-winning moment and a disappointing delay in the game.<\/p>\n

The GeForce NOW RTX 3080 membership, powered by GeForce NOW SuperPODs, reduces latency through faster game rendering, more efficient encoding and higher streaming frame rates. Each step helps deliver cloud gaming that rivals many local gaming experiences.<\/p>\n

With game rendering on the new SuperPODs, all GeForce NOW RTX 3080 members will feel a discernible reduction in latency. However, GeForce NOW RTX 3080 members playing on the PC, Mac and Android apps will observe the greatest benefits by streaming at up to 120 frames per second.<\/p>\n

The result? Digital Foundry proclaimed it\u2019s \u201cthe best streaming system we\u2019ve played<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

That means whether you\u2019re hitting your shots in Rainbow Six Siege<\/i>, using a game-changing ability in Apex Legends<\/i> or even sweating out a fast-paced shooter like Counter-Strike: Global Offensive<\/i>, it\u2019s all streaming in real time on GeForce NOW<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

But don\u2019t just take our word for it. We asked a few cloud gaming experts to put the GeForce NOW RTX 3080 membership to the test. Cloud Gaming Xtreme<\/a> looked at how close RTX 3080 click-to-pixel latency is to their local PC, while GameTechPlanet<\/a> called it \u201cthe one to beat when it comes to cloud gaming, for picture quality, graphics, and input latency.\u201d<\/p>\n

And Virtual Cloud<\/a> noted the latency results \u201creally shocked me just how good it felt,\u201d and that \u201cwhen swapping from my local PC to play on GeForce NOW, I really couldn\u2019t tell a difference at all.\u201d<\/p>\n

Live in the Future<\/b><\/h2>\n

On top of this, the membership comes with the longest gaming session length for GeForce NOW \u2014 clocking in at eight glorious hours. It also enables full control to customize in-game graphics settings and RTX ON<\/a>, rendering environments in cinematic quality for supported games.<\/p>\n

\"Cyberpunk<\/p>\n

Gamers can also enjoy the title\u2019s new update \u2013 Patch 1.5 \u2013 released earlier this week, adding ray-traced shadows from local lights and introducing a variety of improvements and quality of life chances across the board, along with fresh pieces of free additional content.<\/p>\n

With improved Fixer and Gig gameplay, enhanced UI and crowd reaction AI, map and open world tweaks, new narrative interactions, weapons, gear, customization options and more, now is the best time to stream Cyberpunk 2077<\/i> with RTX ON.<\/p>\n

The new GeForce NOW update improves login options for gamers by supporting Discord as a convenient new account creation and login option for their NVIDIA accounts. Members can now use their Discord logins to access their GeForce NOW accounts. That\u2019s one less password to remember.<\/p>\n
