GeForce Now hits 4K/90FPS on Vision Pro
GeForce Now now streams 4K at 90 FPS to the Apple Vision Pro — delivered via Safari rather than a native app, but the result reportedly outperforms competing headsets in streaming smoothness. That highlights both visionOS's display power and current reliance on browser workarounds for high‑perf apps. (tweaktown.com)
NVIDIA shipped GeForce NOW version 2.0.83 with Vision Pro–targeted client changes as part of this rollout. (videocardz.com ) The higher-refresh option is limited to GeForce NOW’s Ultimate tier, billed at roughly $19.99/month or $199.99/year, which NVIDIA markets as delivering RTX 50‑series class performance to subscribers. (roadtovr.com ) Access on Vision Pro is delivered through Safari as a web app rather than a native visionOS binary, a deployment path noted in multiple device tests and coverage. (macstories.net ) NVIDIA’s support documentation advises end‑to‑end latency under 80 ms to a GeForce NOW data center — with sub‑40 ms recommended for the best cloud‑gaming responsiveness. (nvidia.custhelp.com ) The 2.0.83 patch also starts rolling out H.265 (HEVC) browser decoding to selected clients to reduce bandwidth and improve visual quality on supported platforms over the coming weeks. (videocardz.com ) Separately, NVIDIA’s CloudXR 6.0 is now integrated into visionOS 26.4 to enable native foveated RTX streaming (including demonstrations at up to 4K/120 Hz) and provides Xcode templates to help developers target iPhone, iPad and Vision Pro from a common codebase. (blogs.nvidia.com ) (9to5mac.com ) Apple’s Vision Pro hardware exposes multiple supported refresh rates (including 90 Hz and 120 Hz) and a ~23‑million‑pixel Micro‑OLED system, giving headroom for high‑frame cloud streams when codecs, network latency, and client decoding line up.
