Nvidia says an RTX 3080 in the cloud should result in less than 60ms of latency at 120fps playing Destiny 2. With all this hardware, Nvidia is hoping to greatly improve the latency you’re used to experiencing on game streaming services. Nvidia is promising 35 teraflops of GPU performance (that’s more like an RTX 3090), which is roughly three times what an Xbox Series X is capable of. Still, Nvidia is equipping these servers with eight-core AMD Threadripper CPUs, 28GB of DDR4 memory, and a Gen4 SSD. Instead, it’s the equivalent performance from an Ampere GA102 chip that fits into servers. While Nvidia is marketing this as an RTX 3080 in the cloud, the company isn’t literally plugging retail RTX 3080 cards into data centers. Nvidia’s data center with dedicated RTX 3080 pods.

The 4K option is limited to Shield TV at first, as not all TV streaming devices can handle h.265 decoding, so Nvidia is starting with its own Android TV device first before expanding to other hardware based on feedback. You’ll be able to stream at up to 1440p resolution with 120fps on PCs and Macs, and 4K HDR at 60fps on Nvidia’s Shield TV. Preorders begin today, and the service should go live in the US in November and across Europe in December. The RTX 3080 option will be offered first to existing Founders and Priority members of GeForce Now in the US and Europe, with six-month memberships priced at $99.99. “ years in the making, it’s a combination of everything that we’ve learned about cloud gaming and all the of best technology of GeForce gaming,” says Phil Eisler, the head of GeForce Now at Nvidia. GeForce Now can stream games to most devices.

Nvidia is also promising incredibly low latency for these dedicated RTX 3080 pods, with performance that should beat the majority of game consoles, PC gaming rigs, and competitors like Google Stadia and Xbox Cloud Gaming (xCloud). It’s a big moment for game streaming, as it’s rare to get access to machines in the cloud with the latest GPUs, especially one that PC gamers are still struggling to purchase in stores right now. Preorders begin today for select members of GeForce Now. GeForce Now will offer access to what Nvidia describes as “the most powerful gaming supercomputer ever built,” to stream PC games from Steam and the Epic Games Store to Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, and Android TV devices.

Nvidia is launching dedicated, low-latency RTX 3080 gaming pods in the cloud before the end of 2021.
