Nvidia says GeForce Now is the replacement for the RTX 3080 while out of stock

NVIDIA wants to bring gamers who don't have an RTX like the 3080 to GeForce Now while the in-store stock lasts. The service offers high-quality game streaming for those who do not have a PC with high-end components.

Phil Eisler, vice president and general manager of NVIDIA GeForce Now, has suggested that we think of the streaming service as a way to update our PC or laptop while we wait for there to be stock of RTX 3000 series GPUs such as the 3080 or the 3060. At least XNUMX million people around the world have verified it, according to Eisler.

GeForce Now is the most accessible way to test Raytracing

The GeForce Now service is sold as a server network full of computers with the most powerful graphics cards that NVIDIA offers us. With this, you can maximize the graphic capacity of the game and send it by streaming video to any device as if it were a stream of a YouTube video. Works with the games you already have in your library Steam and other digital stores, which is not a service like Stadia Pro or GamePass.

Eisler sees this as a better approach than granting access to a rotating library of titles. Note that most PC gamers already own many games associated game stores thanks to the sales of Steam and Humble Bundles. And he is not without reason because a gamer who has had a Steam account for years can have hundreds of games, many of them compatible with GeForce Now.

While GeForce Now can boost FPS and image quality in supported games despite having a multi-year graphic, Eisler doesn't see it as a hardware replacement, but rather as a companion. understand that there are still restrictions on Internet use such as the monthly limit in the United States and some latency to deal with when playing in the cloud. But its difference is that you can always download games and play them on a local PC when you already have an NVIDIA RTX 3080 or 3060 when the stock returns to stores.
