A stable and fast internet connection is required to play games on GeForce NOW.
Below are the minimum recommended internet speeds for each resolution and frame rate.
Internet Speed | Resolution | Frame Rate |
|---|---|---|
15 Mbps | HD(720p) | 60 FPS |
25 Mbps | Full HD(1080p) | 60 FPS |
35 Mbps | Ultra-Wide Quad HD (UW QHD)/ Quad HD (QHD)(1440p) | 120 FPS |
40 Mbps | 4K(for SHIELD TV and Smart TVs specifically) | 60 FPS |
45 Mbps | 4K(when using Windows/macOS applications) | 120 FPS |
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 for best experience.
* For 4K/QHD resolution, HDR, AV1, Cloud G-SYNC, and 120/240 fps streaming on the native macOS app, a GeForce NOW Ultimate membership is required.
