If you’re looking to use GeForce Now’s gaming service on your Apple Silicon-enabled Mac, you’re going to like this.
A new update to the service now offers improved gameplay, and RTX 3080 members can play at native 1600p on their Apple Silicon-enabled Macs.
The GeForce Now update brings a few new perks for members like linking Nvidia and Ubisoft accounts for fast sign-in. Mac users get a treat with improved streaming performance and new gaming modes for the Apple Silicon Macs.
In addition to the streaming improvements, Mac players using Apple Silicon hardware can now run their games at their native 1600p resolution. This is restricted to RTX 3080 members and enables streaming sessions for up to 8 hours.
Set RTX on for both RTX 3080 and Priority members to experience real-time ray tracing without the need for a PC. Of course, players will need robust network connections for great streaming sessions.
Nvidia also cited that the update includes a fix for streaming in the correct aspect ratio when gaming on a MacBook Pro with M1 Max.
GeForce Now functions as a cloud gaming service that offers players access to their PC library over Ubisoft connect, Steam, and other platforms. Players can enjoy their games on any supported browser from Macs to Safari on iPhone.
Finally, Nvidia removed a previous statement saying that GeForce Now is Apple Silicon-native, and cited that it is actually Intel-based running on Apple’s Rosetta 2 software.
Stay tuned for additional details as they become available.
