www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/ If you have a mac, live in NA, have 25mbps+ internet and want to play all your games at 1080p 60 fps even with ray tracing enabled check out geforce now. there are two ters but you can try it for free for one hour seasons as long as you want and don't mind waiting. warning you need to actually own your games on steam to use it.
free ter {one hour seassons, but as many seassons as you want} {gtx 1080 ti equal gpu for monster gaming on mac,} {RTX OFF no ray tracing} yes i know ): {server wait times, you will have to wait longer to get into a season then paid ters} paid ter $5.00 usd per month {first three months free} {RTX 2080 ti equal gpu} {RTX ON} {put in front of line with other paid ters} a good game most mac can't run 1080p ultra 60 fps is destiny 2 so i would try that game first. you can use this service in both windows 10 {bootcamp} and macos.don't worry about requirements or "should i buy this new game?" or can my mac run this new game at 1080p 60 fps ultra?buy your games and ENJOY PC LEVEL GAMING. GET PLAYING TODAY.warning there might be a delay in the controls since this is a cloud gaming service.
edit: i saw no noticeable lag or delay but you may vary.
ENJOY!!!!!!!!!!!!edit: yesterday i played apex legends on geforce now and it was flawless at 1080p 60 fps ultra with textures to insane (8gb vram) my imac card does not even have 8gb vram.

Wait, so I had this in Romania for months and the NA didn't? Not boasting, I'm just surprised. I agree that it's a great service. Buy a game on the PC and then you own it in the cloud as well. Also, saves transfer between PC and cloud since you're using the same account. It also works with UPLAY and BattleNet, not just Steam. The service itself is also on Android phones, tablets and even on some if not all Android TVs. I'm not sure about iOS. I was convinced that this is actually a free service and you need to just own the games. I was never asked to pay for it but also never played for more than one hour on it so I'm not sure if the business plan is different in different regions or I just didn't know

Thanks for writing this post I get it now, before this it was in beta. And my mistake, it's just on NVIDIA SHIELD and not on other Android TVs. I got the 90 day trial. This is kind of perfect for when I'm at work and there's nothing to work on I have a decent internet connection there, a nice 27 inch monitor but a very under powered Mac Mini so this is ideal if I want to play my games there I do find it interesting that on the NVIDIA SHIELD it works REALLY well and it can stream up to 4K resolutions while on PC it's limited to 1080p or 1200p if your monitor is 16:10 and not 16:9 aspect ratio.

What are you talking about? It's not only on NVIDIA SHIELD, it's on everything - any laptop, desktop, Mac, SHIELD TV or Android mobile and etc... Also it's everywhere and not location restricted as gamerpro wrote. www.nvidia.com/en-us/geforce-now/

I am saying that I made a mistake saying in the first post that it's on ALL Android TVs. On the official site it says it's only on Nvidia Shield (which is really kind of the only stand-alone Android TV left on the market).

When using the internet connection at work the compression gets pretty strong at times because I think the internal network isn't very well built there or the internet connection is not as strong. But when I used on my Nvidia Shield at home where I have good internet, it's actually really amazing , especially considering the fact that I can up the resolutions in certain games like The Division 2 to 4K and it works perfectly. Maybe they'll add higher resolutions to other devices as well over time.

Yeah, or wider aspect ratios for mobile phones as well.
When 5G networks get widely adopted I believe the lag will be too low to notice, at least for single player games. I'm excited about this.

I have 60 mbps internet pc is hard wired into my router and network test in GeForce now and Speedtest are both amazing?
