huh??
GeforceNow is cloud gaming and you don't even need a GPU for it. I've ran Geforce Now fine on a 8 year old system.
Its more dependent on network speed. THis laptop would well exceed the system requirements to run GeforceNow. Monitor sxhould even be good enough for max resolutions.
Maybe I'm missing something..

If it's only 1080p, then it is missing something for peak 'hybrid cloud gaming'.

Do you think an Nvidia Ti card has zero effect on GeForceNow? What about memory and CPU speeds?.. distance from servers?..

Perhaps there's more to learn nowadays.


I don't have much first hand experience with GeforceNow so I don't know much about how the system specs might matter. I expect that if you've got a fairly competent system its OK as long as your internet is good. I'd think this system should be perfectly good.


I don't think a high end video card is going to do much for GeforeNow vs any basic level card or integrated video.

Once you get above basic requirements for memory & CPU you'll be fine too.

Distance from servers is going to matter yes for sure. Its cloud gaming so the performance will depend on your internet/network situation.

A gaming laptop with only 8GB RAM? Hope it's upgradable.
