Nvidia announced last month that it’s planning to upgrade its GeForce Now cloud gaming service to RTX 5080 GPUs. Now, we have a date for that upgrade: September 10th. The upgrade will allow GeForce Now subscribers to rent what’s effectively an RTX 5080 in the cloud, with a huge 48GB of memory and DLSS 4 support.
Nvidia’s RTX 5080 upgrade for GeForce Now will include support for 5K resolutions at 60fps and 120fps, or 1440p at 240fps and 1080p at 360fps. You’ll also be able to enable full ray-tracing support in games with Neural Rendering and Multi Frame Generation, all at the same $19.99 a month for GeForce Now Ultimate.
The reveal of the upgrade date for GeForce Now is part of Nvidia’s weekly GeForce Now announcements, which include 17 games set to be added to the service this month. Hollow Knight: Silksong arrives on GeForce Now today, with Borderlands 4, Dying Light: The Beast, Jump Space, Endless Legend 2, and Cloverpit all debuting on the streaming service later this month.
“On Wednesday, September 10th, Nvidia Blackwell RTX is coming to GeForce Now,” says Nvidia. “To celebrate, next week’s GeForce Now announcements will come a day earlier to usher in the Blackwell era of GeForce Now.”
Nvidia is also bringing back the ability to install games on GeForce Now without waiting for Nvidia to formally curate them. This new “Install-to-Play” feature will greatly improve the GeForce Now library.
