Thinking of streaming your PC gaming? Nvidia's GeForce Now is about to get more tempting as RTX 5080 GPU powers up top-tier plan

• Nvidia's GeForce Now Ultimate plan is getting its big upgrade on September 10
• It'll be powered by the Blackwell RTX 5080 GPU, rather than the RTX 4080
• This allows for up to 5K resolution, or 360fps gaming

Nvidia's big upgrade for its top-tier GeForce Now plan is arriving next week – on September 10 to be precise.

It means that the Ultimate subscription tier of the game streaming service will be powered by a current-gen RTX 5080 GPU, upgraded from the RTX 4080 which is currently the engine behind this plan.

The move (picked up by The Verge) was previously announced by Nvidia at Gamescom, and the good news is that pricing won't change – and obviously you'll get much better performance for your games, or indeed higher-quality graphics.
