Apple can also use NVIDIA GPUs? You have to stream

Cloud gaming got off to a rough start on iOS, but Mac services like Google Stadia and Nvidia GeForce Now have been able to deliver games that would otherwise not have been available on macOS to Apple's computers. Today, Nvidia is expanding GeForce Now to support 1600p resolution on Macbooks and upgraded RTX 3080 levels.

GeForce Now is a cloud gaming service that allows players to stream games they already own in PC gaming marketplaces such as Steam and epic games Store. So far, the service has only a free tier with a time limit, and a paid "priority" level that offers faster connections, longer sessions, and ray tracing.

The newer RTX 3080 level on GeForce Now allows players to get higher resolution for the first time, and the feature is now available on Macbooks.

GeForce Now adds an RTX 3080 backend and offers 120fps streaming on PC for $200/year.

Nvidia is rolling out GeForce Now 2.0.36 for macOS, which brings support for 1600p gameplay on the RTX 3080 layer. Higher resolution gameplay is available on all M1 Macbooks, including the Macbook Pro and Macbook Air.

The update also brings optimizations to Apple's latest M1 Max Macbook, fixing streaming at the correct aspect ratio.

The update also includes fixes for streaming with the correct aspect ratio on Apple's MacBook Pro M1 Max, as well as improvements to the countdown when viewed on in-game overlays.

GeForce NOW RTX 3080 members can now play in native resolution on their M1 Macbook Air or Macbook Pro, reaching a glorious 1600p. Streaming sessions can take even longer – up to 8 hours. With the RTX 3080 and RTX ON for Priority members, you can experience real-time ray-tracing games like Cyberpunk 2077 and Control without having to upgrade to a PC.
