Nvidia claim the vital importance of this hitherto completely unnecessary limit involves “providing exceptional quality and speed — as well as shorter queue times”, and that 100 hours per month will “comfortably” accommodate 94% of current users. Obviously, if you are part of that remaining 6%, your newfound constraints won’t be reflected in any kind of subscription price cut or discount. But hey, you can always pay Nvidiamorecash to unlock extra time. $6 for 15 hours on the Ultimate tier, to be exact, or $3 for 15 hours on the Priority tier, which is being renamed Performance.
What’s also a shame is that this “allowance” is being foisted alongside a range of other changes that, largely, sound quite good. The Performance-née-Priority membership will start offering 2560x1440 andultrawideresolution options, with ultrawide previously being exclusive to the Ultimate tier, and both types are gaining the ability to save custom graphics setting configurations across different streaming sessions. Alas, the march of service decay continues, with the only way to continue enjoying unlimited streaming time being a GeForce Now Founders subscription – and those haven’t been available for new signups since 2021.
In other news, Nvidia this weeksurpassed a market value of $3.6 trillion, a global first that cemented their position above Apple as the world’s most valuable company.
