NVIDIA has unveiled its Cloud G-SYNC technology, which is aimed at enhancing the game streaming experience for users of GeForce NOW. Exclusive to GeForce NOW RTX 4080 SuperPOD instances under the Ultimate subscription tier, Cloud G-SYNC synchronizes display refresh rates with cloud gaming streams, minimizing screen tearing and stuttering for smoother gameplay. This feature also incorporates Reflex technology to reduce latency in cloud gaming.
Specific requirements for compatibility and usage
To utilize Cloud G-SYNC, users must have display equipment with a refresh rate higher than 60Hz and support for variable refresh rate (VRR) technology, such as Nvidia G-SYNC, AMD FreeSync, or Apple’s ProMotion. Notably, Cloud G-SYNC is only available through native GeForce NOW applications and does not extend to browser, mobile, or TV clients.
For Windows systems, a minimum requirement of NVIDIA Turing architecture graphics cards (GTX 16 or RTX 20 series) is necessary, excluding support for Intel or AMD GPUs. Additionally, the macOS version of the application supports all Apple Silicon models and select Intel-based Mac models, including specific MacBook Pro, MacBook Air, iMac, and Mac Pro configurations.
It’s essential to ensure that systems equipped with GeForce have at least the R545 driver version to support Cloud G-SYNC. However, NVIDIA clarifies that under Windows, multiple monitors are not supported with this feature. Alongside the introduction of Cloud G-SYNC, NVIDIA has also launched the GeForce NOW cloud game day pass, offering Priority and Ultimate versions priced at $3.99 and $7.99, respectively. These passes provide 6 or 8 hours of gaming at the corresponding level, catering to users who temporarily step away from their computers or wish to explore cloud gaming options.
