is now officially out of beta, and players have already begun using it more widely. However, some players might be confused as to whether or not they're able to use the service. Perhaps the best thing about GeForce Now is just how easy it is to use, and how you don't necessarily need to have a high-end device in order to take advance of it.

GeForce Now isn't limited to one type of device, so there's no real list of exact devices that will and won't work. However, NVIDIA has listed out a series of requirements for the service on various devices, including what it will take for Mac, PC, and Android devices to be compatible with the service.

PC Requirements for GeForce Now

  • GPU that at least supports DirectX 11
  • NVIDIA GeForce 600 series or newer

that GeForce Now requires at least a 15Mbps download speed in order to stream for 720p at 60 FPS. If you're looking to stream in 1080p at 60 FPS, you'll need a download speed of 25Mbps. You'll also need to use either a hardwired Ethernet connection to your device or have a 5GHz wireless router.

As far as controllers go, most built-in or USB keyboards will work, as well as any gaming mice that may be available. For gamepads, NVIDIA recommends either a DualShock 4 Controller, the Logitech Gamepad F310/F510/F710, or the USB-wired Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers, as well as a variety of mobile gamepads if you're gaming on an Android device.

NVIDIA's cloud game streaming service is one of the best available today, delivering lag-free gaming at 1080p/60 FPS. The best part about the service is that you don't need a high-end machine to run it, so there's a good chance you're already set. The $5 monthly plan also makes it an immediately enticing option for seasoned gamers.
