Nvidia is ready for CES 2024, with a focus on highly anticipated hot items such as AI, robotics, and professional tools, as well as the launch of its RTX 40 Super graphics card series. But that's not all. Variable refresh rate technology G-Sync and streaming service GeForce Now will also be updated.

In a move that surprised me in a good way, Nvidia will be adding cloud-based G-Sync support to the GeForce Now Ultimate tier. This will allow variable refresh rate monitors to match the FPS of games streamed via Nvidia's GeForce Now cloud gaming service.

Our man Jacob Ridley in Las Vegas saw this demo in real time and says it definitely worked. He added that Nvidia says it will work on any variable refresh rate screen, and when used in conjunction with Nvidia's Reflex technology, Ultimate Tier members can experience tear-free gaming on any device. We'll have to see how it performs outside of a controlled environment, but it certainly looks like a promising improvement for GeForce Now.

Additionally, Nvidia will expand Reflex support to 4K titles in 60fps and 120fps modes. This will improve latency and promise smoother gameplay with minimal stuttering. This looks pretty good. There is also a new 1440p mode for users of Android phones and tablets. With the right title (and the right display), you should get very nice visuals.

GeForce Now itself has a new membership option. Currently, a one-month membership in GeForce Now Priority is $10 per month, while a one-month membership in Ultimate is $20. The latter is a bit on the expensive side for those who want to give it a try. [If you want to try out what RTX 4080-based cloud gaming with G-Sync support at up to 4K looks like on a device of your choice, the $8 one-day pass is a great way to check out the best that GeForce Now has to offer.

Fans of Diablo 4 and Overwatch 2 will be pleased to see that both are coming to GeForce Now. If you don't have the budget or inclination to upgrade your graphics card (or your entire PC), a one-day pass for a few bucks is a good way to see if the service is something you would consider using long-term.
