Gamers should expect Nvidia Ampere graphics cards with GeForce Now, Nvidia told PC Gamer The next generation of GPUs from Nvidia's green team is (some say) just around the corner, and this architecture It looks like you won't have to physically buy a brand new graphics card to experience what it has to offer.

"We want GeForce Now to be an opportunity for gamers to experience Nvidia's latest gaming technology. We want to give gamers the opportunity to experience Nvidia's latest gaming technology," Andrew Fear, senior product manager for GeForce Now, told us. So, expect to see Ampere at GeForce Now at some point."

The GeForce Now cloud gaming service was initially launched with Pascal generation graphics cards loaded onto servers. These were later replaced by RTX graphics cards that can deliver RTX feature sets such as real-time ray tracing and DLSS to devices via the cloud.

However, its upgrade to the Turing architecture came some time after the architecture was first released in late 2018.

Nvidia offers two tiers of membership to its GeForce Now service: Founders and Free; RTX graphics, priority access, and extended session lengths separate the wheat from the chaff.

When asked if this introductory campaign will expire soon and if the price of the Founders tier will increase, Fear replied, "We'll think about it next year."

In recent weeks, everything from heatsinks to 3DMark benchmarks have appeared on the web, suggesting that the Nvidia Ampere release date is near. Undoubtedly, the first games on next-gen machines will be on physical hardware, but if Nvidia's aspirations for GeForce Now are fulfilled, Ampere will be in the cloud faster than Turing can make the leap.
