PC gaming can be a very expensive hobby, especially if you want the best graphics and fastest loading times. But Nvidia is looking to take some of that pain away with the launch of its GeForce Now program on PCs and Macs.
While at first this sounds like great news, giving gamers a new, affordable way to access countless hours of entertainment, regardless of their hardware, this is in fact a mixed bag. That’s because despite having the same name as the game streaming service found on Nvidia’s Shield devices , GeForce Now for PCs and Mac is a different beast entirely.
Instead of accessing a library of games, PC gamers that sign up for the service will actually be renting out virtual machines on Nvidia’s GRID servers, for an hourly fee.
