There’s some excitement amongst a particular subset of GeForce Now members, as those sporting an LG C2 have found a great new addition to their app. As Waz_K discovered and shared on Reddit, playing games through the app on the TV now lets you utilize all the pixels on it as you can up the resolution to 4K and enjoy a 60FPS refresh rate on it.
It’s clearly been a long time coming, as previously they had been stuck on a measly 1080p as GeForce Now limited the ability to match the TV’s actual resolution. One user praised the change and the fact that you can now also connect your Xbox account to GeForce Now to skip the sign-in process each time, calling it a “treat”.
On the other hand, another user complained of this coming frustratingly just a couple of days late after the sale on memberships had just finished and missed out on the opportunity to buy it for cheaper. To be fair it was a massive 50% saving on the 4080 equipped systems.
Just in time for Black Myth: Wukong
The LG C2 tailored update follows an array of Gamescom GeForce Now announcements, and not all were limited to the Xbox sign-in. That said, the latest GeForce Now support comes at a time when both Black Myth: Wukong and Final Fantasy XVI Demo have just been added, giving LG C2 users a great opportunity to enjoy the latest titles in stunning 4K clarity.
The first of which is quite the success as it jumped to the top of the Steam charts as millions get the game up and running. This is where some might prefer to play it on GeForce Now, as when finding the best GPU for Black Myth, we found it to be quite a demanding game. Even with the 4080 Super, we tested very high settings and yielded just 69FPS at 1080p, so having to buy a whole new system may not pose the same good value as renting a PC.
That’s where the DLSS 3 inclusion in the game is essential too, especially if you want to get it running at a good framerate at 4K, let alone with ray tracing.
Overall, I think LG users will be happy with the arrival of GeForce Now support – and with the gaming market growing exponentially, I can only see this being a great move from the Nvidia.
