Hi!

I'm looking to buy a very simple and inexpensive PC mainly for gaming through NVIDIA GeForce NOW. I don't need the PC itself to run demanding games, since I'll be streaming them through GeForce NOW.

My main goal is to spend as little as possible while still getting a decent experience. I'm starting from scratch, so I would need the whole setup:

PC or mini PC

Monitor

Keyboard (maybe a cute one with lights?🥺)

Mouse

Any other essentials

I'm currently considering a mini PC with something like a Ryzen 5 7430U, 16 GB RAM and a 512 GB SSD, but I'm wondering whether that's actually overkill for GeForce NOW or if there are cheaper options that would make more sense.

I'm also wondering how much I can save on the monitor. Would a cheap 21–22" 1080p 60/75/100 Hz monitor be perfectly fine for GeForce NOW, or is there a reason to spend more?

(Also: I live in Italy, so prices and availability here can be different from the US)

I'd especially appreciate recommendations for specific models and good places to buy them, rather than just general specs.

Thanks and sorry for my english!

This setup combines GeForce Now cloud gaming and local streaming via Moonlight XR on a Meta Quest 3 headset, allowing you to play all your games on a giant virtual screen with magical 3D effects!

Just giving my 2 cents about the service, not affiliated nor sponsored or whatever, just my own opinion.

I used to play a lot a few years ago, always having the top spec rig. But over the years I played less and less (life you know). I ended up reselling all my PC and gaming gear.

Fast forward today, I now have a MacBook Pro, which, even if it is definitely capable of gaming with today's chips, it still can't play games with anti cheats softwares (battlefield, etc).

I tried out of curiosity the free tier, and it was awful, the "60" FPS felt like a powerpoint, with horrible mouse input latency. But maybe I'm a 120hz princess.

After lurking around, I told myself "f-it let's buy a month of the Ultimate plan" and see for real what "120fps" and 100mbps feel like, without much hope.

Well, I spent a lot of time tweaking my wifi router to not have any packet drop or latency spike, and now I'm blown away, I can play some huge titles, start the game in seconds, maxed out the graphics, bitrate and resolution, and it plays great. I still feel like it doesn't quite feel like 120fps and there is some input latency, but it's fine for non-competitive gaming and the picture quality is great too.

I find the ultimate plan quite expensive and there is some marketplaces missing (rockstar games I'm talking about you). I guess I won't buy it each month, but for someone who wants to play from time to time (or someone that doesn't have a spare organ to sell for buying today's computer parts), it's a good service.

Thanks Nvidia

Good evening, everyone!

I have a question about DLSS 5. I’m currently using the GeForce NOW Performance plan in Brazil, which is operated by ABYA, and I was wondering if there is any information about DLSS 5 coming to this plan.

NVIDIA has confirmed that DLSS 5 will be available on GeForce NOW, but I haven’t been able to find any specific information regarding ABYA Brazil or the Performance plan.

Has ABYA confirmed whether DLSS 5 will be available on the Performance plan? Or is there any estimate of when it might be available?

If anyone has any information or an official announcement from ABYA or NVIDIA about this, I’d really appreciate it!

I know some of them have their own plans of cloud infra and negative impact on their ecosystem. But, given the expansion of GFN servers and unmatched quality, i think within next year the size of gamers on it would be highest and at one point wouldn't these Game Studio must ask whether to just opt in and get these gamers access to their IP with best experience or indulge in billions of dollars of capex to build their own servers and ultimately pay Nvidia or AMD.

Used this service to play Cyberpunk back in 2020 and later Shadow PC because streaming quality wasn't that good in GFN but looked like local in Shadow, then I got a 3060 Laptop and quitted cloud gaming, it was great Switch emulators, VR, Mods, etc.

But after the DLSS 5 posts from yesterday made me regain my interest in gaming, I was fine with my 3060 laptop docked to my OLED TV at 1440p or even 4k with FSR frame gen, but I wanted to get a 5070ti laptop just due DLSS 5 but I decided at this point I rather wait for the 6000's GPU series as I expect DLSS 5 will be made for that chips in mind.

So I'm back at GFN, and I'm surprised how good it's now! can't wait till It get DLSS 5 support as that my main interest as I'm really interested in replaying Witcher 3 with DLSS 5

Subbed only because of wuthering Waves but got introduced to PC games. Now I can play PC games without needing to break the bank

Been living under a rock I guess cause I just discovered the game filters and all the options that come with it -

any filters / settings in particular in there that people use on the daily?

Hi folks, I’d like to share my clip for the Gamescom giveaway, which I’ve titled “Three Things I Love About Nvidia GeForce Now.” 

Even though I’m a little “rusty” when it comes to editing, I had a lot of fun making this video, and I hope you enjoy it.

Thanks for watching, and good luck to everyone!

P.S.: There are actually lots of other things I love about GFN, but I didn’t include them in the clip otherwise it would have turned into a short film 😄

Hi guys, I play mostly Paradox games that can't run in my laptop (Vic 3 and Eu5) so I was wondering, is it worth to go Ultimate? Or is it more aimed towards people who play high end multiplayer games? Is the FPS and loading times the only noticeable difference?

Firstly the ultimate plan is amazing and can run anything maxed out on my M2 pro MacBook. Loving it.

Only problem is I use a ps5 controller and it’s always showing the Xbox buttons. I’ve tried everything. Steam games that run via Mac directly are fine and show correctly, but every game in GeForceNOW stuck on Xbox and registers as Xinput every time and no matter whether plugged in or Bluetooth and it’s doing my head in.

Estoy usando en mi teléfono la gratuita de 1 hora y me va con 80 ping y subiendo, me es un poco injugable,

I'm not sure if I should post this on portal or here but...I purchased it on steam and played it just fine few months back, now i'm suddenly stuck in demo version.

Also, changing language worked before but now it doesn't work no matter what i do.

Now it works on Steam 🥳🥳 thx u Nvidia ❤️

My Xbox controller only works like a mouse with the left analog stick; the other buttons don't work. I have two different controllers, one USB and one Bluetooth, but the problem is the same with both. I tried it with a game installed on my computer, and it works normally. I tried it with a browser and an application, but the problem persists. What should I do? This problem appeared suddenly.

Hi, I’m having an issue with GeForce NOW on my old Windows 10 PC.

When I launch a game, it gets stuck on “Connecting…” for about 20–30 seconds, then either fails or shows:

“The game unexpectedly stopped. Please restart it. Error code: 0xC0F220F.”

PC specs:

Windows 10 Pro 64-bit, Build 19045
Intel Core i5-650 @ 3.20 GHz
8 GB DDR3 RAM
Intel HD Graphics (1st generation)
Driver: 8.15.10.2900 (2012)
WDDM 1.1 / Feature Level 10_0
GFN version 2.0.88.129
Ethernet connection

I tested the GFN app, Edge, Edge InPrivate and Brave, with the same result. I also tried 720p/30 FPS.

My internet connection appears to be fine (0% packet loss, ~6 ms ping), and the same GFN account works perfectly on my Dell Latitude 3140 using the same home network.

Interestingly, this PC worked with GeForce NOW about a year ago.

Could the current GFN client have dropped compatibility with this generation of Intel HD Graphics? Is there any software workaround or older GFN version that could work?

I’m specifically looking for a solution that does not require replacing the GPU.

Thanks!
