GeForce Now System Requirements for Windows

Windows version requirements: –

It is essential to have a 64-bit version of Windows 7, 8, or any newer. Keep in mind that GeForce does not support Windows 32-bit versions.

[ Do You Know: A 32-bit operating system refers typically to x86 and a 64-bit operating system as x64.]

Requirements for Computer Hardware

  • GPU that at least supports DirectX 11 (Recommended: EVGA GeForce GTX 460)
  • NVIDIA GeForce 600 series or latest
  • Dual-core x86-64 CPU with 2.0GHz or faster
  • 4GB of system memory {It is not recommended for gamers.}
  • AMD Radeon HD 3000 series or newer graphics cards [Tip: For a better gaming experience, invest in a high-end Radeon processor]
  • Intel HD Graphics 2000 series or newer [Note: The Intel HD Graphics 2000 series is one of the weakest cards on the market, and it won’t meet the requirements of today’s AAA games.]
  • For the time being, GeForce does not support specific 800 series GPUs, such as the GeForce GTX 800m, 820m, 830m, 840m, 850m, 860m, 870m, and 880m. However, this may change soon.

REQUIREMENTS FOR THE INTERNET

It’s good to remember that the essential requirement for using GeForce Now is consistent, fast internet speeds.

For 720p at 60fps, GeForce NOW needs at least 15Mbps, and for 1080p at 60fps, it requires at least 25Mbps or more.

You’ll also need a 5GHz wireless router or a hardwired Ethernet link to connect your computer. Hard-wired Ethernet links have faster and more stable connections and also lower EMF radiation.

(If you need help setting up a wired Ethernet connection then, leave a comment below, and we’ll assist you.)

FOR GAMEPADS

  • NVIDIA SHIELD Controller or any other like Xbox One Wireless Controller. (wired or wireless mode)
  • DualShock 4 controllers from Sony (USB wired and Bluetooth) [Note: First and foremost, all official Sony DualShock 4 controllers are compatible with all PS4 versions.]
  • Sony PS5™ DualSense™ The DualSense is much more substantial than the DualShock 4, with a heftier grip that reminds me of the Xbox Wireless Controller. (USB wired Bluetooth)
  • F310/F510/F710 Logitech Gamepad, install drivers for Windows 10 also You must adjust the controller to operate in this mode [Direct input mode]

{Note: The nano-receiver must be connected to a USB port that can supply enough electricity, such as a powered USB hub}

  • Xbox 360 and Xbox One controllers from Microsoft (USB wired)
  • Xbox Series X controllers from Microsoft (requires Windows 10 1909). The new controller has backward compatibility with the Xbox One, similar to how Xbox One controllers have forward compatibility with the Xbox Series X and Series S.

MICE AND KEYBOARDS

The majority of built-in or USB keyboards are functional.

For PC and Mac, NVIDIA suggests a USB gaming mouse. Logitech and Razer also have a wide range of products. Logitech’s mouse is better for basic functionality and value, while Razer’s mouse is better for multitasking quickly and matching the rest of a custom-built PC. Which of these choices is the best mouse for you will be determined by your requirements for a mouse.
