GeForce Now - Basic servers upgraded?
Discussion
Signed up to GeForce Now for about 4-5 months after Stadia died. The price is OK, went for the 'normal' level of membership (£7/month) vs £14+ for the higher 30X tier.
Been very happy with GeForce Now, fired up it up today whilst finishing some work reports, and was surprised to see the 3060 banner, where as before it just said RTX enabled.
So went off and checked, the GPU has now changed from Tesla T10 to AG10. So unlike Stadia where Google never upgraded the servers, Nvdia is upgrading are upgrading their servers quite quickly as the more expensive tier is now 4080.
Benchmarks from a few games seem to confirm the backend hardware upgrade.
The games looked pretty good before,and even with the faster base CPU/GPU newer games push the frame rates to 30fps, so 4080 still holds the premium, but not worth it for my usage.
But running Cyberpunk at max RTX settings on my Fold 4 with OK frame rates …….happy days

I run GFN through Chrome most of the time, for some reason Chrome plays nicer with my Stadia controller?
Apparently Xbox Live games coming to GFN soon.....so Nvidia are learning from Stadias failure, getting good games on the platform is key. I'm tempted to get the Warhammer Total war series on GFN, but have too much work on to spend hours gaming
