The GeForce Now macOS beta requires an Apple device running macOS 10.10 or newer, with ' most Macs dating back to 2009' fully supported, along with an internet connection with at least 25Mb/s and preferably 50Mb/s of downstream bandwidth. The games themselves aren't free, however users must already own the title before it's available to install.
The macOS version of GeForce Cloud allows more than 100 games, listed in full here, to be installed on a virtual machine connected to a dedicated Pascal-based graphics processor claimed to be equivalent in performance to a GeForce GTX 1080 graphics card. ' The systems aren’t powerful enough ,' Nvidia explains of the reason why macOS users should be interested in GeForce Now, ' and when they are, most top PC games aren’t available.' As the client device only needs to process the audio-video stream and send back control commands, system requirements are light, but, as with any cloud gaming platform, the experience is heavily dependent on a low-latency internet connection with adequate bandwidth.Īnother feature of cloud gaming is the possibility to unlock platform-exclusive titles, and that's something Nvidia is pushing heavily as it launches the European beta for GeForce Now on Apple's macOS platform.
You can always change this via the GeForce NOW settings menu. Download GeForce Now for your Windows, Mac, SHIELD TV, or Android device and start playing instantly. To join the free GeForce NOW beta, Mac owners simply register, download and install the GeForce NOW app and select their favourite Steam or games that they already own.

Discord is now supported as a convenient new account creation and login option for your NVIDIA account for users on the NVIDIA service. GeForce Experience 3.20.5 Beta now adds a new Performance panel, which allows you to monitor and tune your GPU with a single click.
