Nvidia GeForce Now RTX 5080 (Blackwell) Review: RTX 5080 in a MacBook

Nvidia has unveiled an updated version of its GeForce Now game-streaming service, the RTX 5080 (Blackwell). This new offering features a more powerful GPU, the RTX 5080, which promises improved performance and image quality for cloud-based gaming. The RTX 5080 is designed to provide a high-end gaming experience, even on devices that may not have the hardware to run modern games locally. Nvidia claims that the RTX 5080 delivers up to 2x the performance of the previous-generation RTX 4080 used in GeForce Now. In addition to the hardware upgrade, Nvidia has also introduced a new subscription tier called "RTX 5080," which provides access to the more powerful hardware. This tier is intended to cater to users who demand the best possible cloud gaming experience, with the potential for higher frame rates, better graphics, and reduced latency. The updated GeForce Now service with the RTX 5080 is now available to users, offering a compelling option for those who want to enjoy high-end gaming on a wide range of devices, including MacBooks and other laptops that may not have dedicated gaming hardware.
