Nvidia is now offering its GeForce Now RTX 3080 membership tier on a monthly subscription basis. The service, which streams games from Steam or the Epic Games Store using RTX 3080-level technology, is now available for $19.99 a month. This means you may try out the top RTX 3080 tier for a month without committing to a six-month subscription.
The RTX 3080 tier is currently one of the greatest streaming services available, owing to its reduced latency, support for raytracing, and 120fps. On PCs and Macs, you can stream up to 1440p at 120 frames per second, and 4K HDR at 60 frames per second on Nvidia’s Shield TV. Nvidia is still offering six-month memberships for $99.99, which equates to approximately $16.66 per month, a savings of $19.95.
While Nvidia is selling this service as a cloud-based RTX 3080, the company is not physically putting retail RTX 3080 cards into data centers. Rather than that, it’s employing an Ampere GA102 chip designed for server blades and outfitting the systems with eight-core AMD Threadripper CPUs, 28GB of DDR4 memory, and a Gen4 SSD.
Along with the monthly RTX 3080 tier, GeForce Now will receive six additional titles this week. Buccaneers!, Distant Worlds 2, Ironsmith Medieval Simulator, Bus Driver Simulator, Martha is Dead, and Survival Quiz CITY have all been added to GeForce Now.
