Nvidia GeForce Now gets M1 supportNvidia has made its in-house cloud gaming service, GeForce Now, Mac-friendly with an Apple silicon chip. As of the new version 2.0.40, the associated application runs natively on Apple computers with M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max and M1 Ultra. Previously, Nvidia’s software only worked on the corresponding Macs with the help of the Rosetta 2 emulation tool, which was associated with a number of drawbacks, such as the app’s comparatively long startup times.
Nvidia goes in the associate blog post about the improvements brought by the native support of M1. According to the graphics card vendor, the new version of GeForce Now significantly reduces application power requirements, which is particularly beneficial for mobile Macs and battery life. Users also benefit from faster app launch times and generally better performance when running. The user experience is significantly increased on M1 Macs, such as MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac minis, according to the manufacturer. However, native M1 support has less of an impact on the actual gaming performance of titles available through GeForce Now than other areas of the software, as available games run in Nvidia data centers and are streamed. to the respective Mac via a cloud connection.
Other innovations in GeForce Now 2.0.40 include another way to find suitable games faster. To this end, Nvidia has placed a “Genre” bar below the “Games” menu, which customers can use to search for the titles of their choice.
