OS Requirements
Ubuntu 24.04 LTS
When selecting a windowing system, use Xorg (X11) for NVIDIA GPUs and Wayland for AMD/Intel GPUs
Hardware Requirements
Dual core x86 or x64 CPU at 2.0GHz or faster
4GB of system memory
A modern GPU that supports H.264 or H.265 Vulkan video codecs, such as GeForce 10 series or newer; search for your GPU in these lists: H.264 or H.265
For NVIDIA GPUs, a minimum driver version of 580.126.07+. Please note that after installing a new driver on the host system, you should reinstall the GFN app again
For Intel/AMD GPUs that use Mesa, recommended driver version is 24.2.8
Please read this knowledgebase article for installation issues or this knowledgebase article if the app fails to launch
Internet Requirements
15 Mbps for HD resolutions at up to 60 FPS (e.g. 1280x720)
25 Mbps for FHD resolutions at 60 FPS (e.g. 1920x1080)
35 Mbps for UW QHD & QHD resolutions at 120 FPS (e.g. 3840x1440 or 2560x1440)
45 Mbps for 4K resolutions at 120 FPS (e.g. 3840x2160)
55 Mbps for QHD & FHD resolutions at 240 & 360 FPS (e.g. 2560x1440 or 1920x1080)
65 Mbps for 5K resolutions at 120 FPS (e.g. 5120x2180)
We recommend using a wired Ethernet connection or a 5 GHz Wi-Fi connection.
In addition, latency from your location to the NVIDIA data center must be under 80 ms.
You must be a GeForce NOW Ultimate member for 4K/QHD resolution, HDR, AV1, Cloud G-SYNC, and 120/240 fps streaming on the native Windows app. For more information, please see this article (https://nvidia.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/5223).
Keyboard and Mouse
A USB gaming mouse is recommended. If you are using a mouse and experiencing stutter, you can try lowering your mouse polling rate to 125Hz.
Gamepads
Microsoft Xbox controllers
Sony PS5 DualSense/DualShock 4 controllers
Additional gamepads may work with GeForce NOW. Some require additional drivers and/or software updates to properly function.
