What if you could forget about the difficulty of buying a graphics card and simply rent the performance in the cloud? That's the theory behind the latest upgrades to GeForce Now. During the past couple of weeks, the average price on RTX 3080 cards purchased on eBay still sits at nearly $1,700, more than double the nominal price. Unless you want to pay eBay GPU prices, which still tend to be 50–100 percent higher than the official MSRPs, it's virtually impossible to buy a graphics card.

One of the biggest barriers to PC gaming right now is the lack of graphics cards. Also, anything that requires the Microsoft Store is out.īut it's not just about the games and hardware. Unfortunately, you're limited to games that are supported on the GeForce Now platform, and while there are many Steam, Epic, GoG, and Ubisoft games that will run on GeForce Now, there are plenty of missing titles as well: Borderlands 3 (and all the rest of the series), Dirt 5, Horizon Zero Dawn, Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition, and Red Dead Redemption 2 are just a few of the missing games. Yay! Users are also allocated a GPU solely for their use, while the CPU gets shared between two users.
This can be good and bad.įor example, there's no cryptocurrency mining using GeForce Now. Also, it's in the cloud, which inherently limits what you can do with the GPU. The RTX 3080 is still our top pick for the best graphics cards, contingent upon actually finding one for close to the recommended price. You see, it's actually an Nvidia A10G GPU in the cloud, which is both better and worse than an RTX 3080 from a performance and features standpoint - more on that below. Nvidia just upgraded its GeForce Now subscription game streaming service with the RTX 3080 tier, which promises gamers the performance of a GeForce RTX 3080 in the cloud.
