Particularly when it might tempt a lot more folks over given that it’s so difficult to buy a decent graphics card at the moment (and having to overpay ridiculously even if you are lucky enough to find one).
Why might Nvidia further open up its RTX 3080 membership to more users (which is presumably the intention with the introduction of a more ‘dip in friendly’ 1-month plan)? Well, it could have developed the capacity needed to cope with the extra streaming workload now, and indeed smoothed out the service more in general.Īnd Team Green could also be responding to user feedback, as we’ve certainly seen some requests from gamers who would like a monthly service for the RTX 3080 tier for the reasons we’ve already mentioned – to give it a whirl at minimal cost.įrom what we’ve heard thus far ( and experienced ourselves here at TechRadar), the RTX 3080 tier represents a very solid high-end experience, so perhaps Nvidia is now confident enough to open it up more widely on that basis. Given that this is the flagship offering for GeForce Now, there’s always the chance Nvidia might notch that pricing up slightly, but we wouldn’t imagine that’d be the case. The RTX 3080 tier launched in November of 2021 with a six-month subscription plan. So, the 1-month cost for Priority is 20% of the six-month membership, which if applied directly to the current 6-month RTX 3080 tier, would give a one-month price of $20 or £18. Nvidia announced today it would be making single-month memberships available for its RTX 3080 tier of GeForce Now. Compared to the tier below, the Priority membership, that costs $50 or £45 for six-months, and $10 or £8.99 monthly.
In theory, we could then see more gamers giving the top-tier plan a whirl, and that ties in with a very recent blog post (opens in new tab) from Team Green which describes how to get the most out of the RTX 3080 experience on GeForce Now.Īnalysis: If this is indeed happening, how will pricing pan out?Īssuming this report is correct, the existing RTX 3080 subscription runs to $99 or £90 for six-months.
However, you’ll be able to check out the high-end service for just a month, and quit if you’re not convinced it’s worth the money (spending far less than you would currently on a six-month RTX 3080 plan overall).
Obviously, the fresh one-month plan must be more expensive, at least in terms of the actual monthly payment.
