Following the launch of Nvidia Shield Console at GDC 2015
event last March, the graphic cards manufacturer is now introducing game-streaming
support in full-HD 1080p 60 fps for Nvidia Grid service.
This latest update enhances the Nvidia Grid position in the game-streaming
arena, especially after one of the other popular service, OnLive, was
officially closed and sold to Sony.
Nvidia Grid was first launched at the end of last year. The
concept was to allow the owners of Nvidia Shield line to enjoy about 50 famous
PC games without the need to store those games into internal storage of each
device. All the games could be enjoyed in a resolution of 720p 60 fps by
utilizing an Internet connection.
Now more than 35 games can be played in resolution of 1080p
60 fps. This feature can be enjoyed by those who have joined with the community
of Nvidia Shield Hub Beta. The Nvidia Shield owners don't have to worry about
the device is not able to cope with the high-resolution graphics, because
Nvidia server that will run all the games played.
For that you should pay attention to the quality of internet
connection you have. To make it more optimal, Nvidia Grid requires internet
connection speed at least 30 Mbps along with a compatible router. Nvidia itself
has prepared two data centers buildings so that the users in a number of areas
can enjoy the game-streaming service with lower latency.
Until this time, the Nvidia Grid can still be accessed for
free, but starting in July, Nvidia will be introducing premium option - however
there is no information about the detail of price.
