Nvidia GeForce Now Priority Members No Longer Get 60fps on Every Game

If yous're a priority fellow member of Nvidia's GeForce Now, don't look every title to run at 60 frames per 2d (fps) as the company previously advertised.

Nvidia'south cloud gaming service is restricting frames per second on at least 12 games from betwixt 55fps to 45fps, according to a back up document it published on Th. The games include Cyberpunk 2077 and Assassin's Creed Odyssey, which have both been capped to 45fps. Two other titles released in the past year, Biomutant and Outriders, will only run at 50 and 55fps, respectively.

The list of games

The company is placing the frames-per-second restrictions to ensure each title runs smoothly over GeForce Now, which streams games from an Nvidia data center to the user's PC, Television receiver, or smartphone.

"For our Priority Members, the maximum frames rendered per second is generally set to lx, or college, for most of the ane,100+ games we've onboarded then far. [But] there are some exceptions that we determined do non run well enough at 60fps on the GPUs used by Priority members," the company wrote.

The support certificate adds that users shouldn't bother trying to lift the frames-per-2nd caps through the GeForce Now settings panel. Nvidia is preventing Priority members from overriding the FPS caps, which they tin can exercise with other games.

The support document as well notes that while the frames per 2nd has been capped on the 12 games, the GeForce At present service is nevertheless technically streaming 60 frames per 2d to your device.

Nvidia's statement

The company published the document after a Reddit user noticed GeForce At present was "hard-capping" the FPS rate for the game Guardians of the Galaxy to 50fps, despite altering the graphics settings. A back up electronic mail from Nvidia then revealed the issue wasn't due to whatsoever software bug, only a deliberate visitor determination to restrict the frames-per-second rates on certain games.

Nvidia's post on Thursday mentions the frames-per-second capping is occurring on certain "graphics-intensive games." Notwithstanding, some of the titles listed are pretty surprising. For example, Dying Light and Path of Exile take both been capped to 50fps, even though they were released over five years ago. Guardians of the Galaxy is also mysteriously absent from the list, making us wonder if Nvidia is restricting the FPS on more games than currently disclosed.

Nosotros reached out to Nvidia most the Guardians of the Galaxy omission. In the concurrently, the frames-per-2nd capping occurs as Nvidia is offering an upgraded tier to GeForce Now, which can bump upward frame rates to 120. All the same, information technology costs $99.99 for half-dozen months, or double the $49.99 Priority price.
