Nvidia GeForce now gets M1 supportNvidia has made its GeForce Now cloud gaming service suitable for Macs with an Apple silicon chip. From the new version 2.0.40, the associated app works natively on Apple computers with the M1, M1 Pro, M1 Max, and M1 Ultra. Previously, Nvidia’s software only ran on corresponding Macs with the help of the Rosetta 2 simulator, which was associated with a number of drawbacks, such as relatively long application start times.
Nvidia goes in associated Blog post On the improvements made by the original M1 support. According to the graphics card provider, the new version of GeForce Now significantly reduces the power requirements of the application, which is especially useful for Mac notebooks and battery life. Users also benefit from faster application startup times and generally better performance when running. The user experience increases dramatically on M1 Macs like MacBooks, iMacs, and Mac mini, according to the manufacturer. However, native M1 support has less impact on the actual gaming performance of titles available via GeForce Now than in other areas of the software, as the games available are executed in Nvidia data centers and transferred to the respective Mac via the cloud connection.
Other new features in GeForce Now 2.0.40 include another way to find matching games faster. To do this, Nvidia has placed a “Genre” bar below the “Games” list, which customers can use to search for titles of their choice.
