New in NVIDIA GeForce Now 2.0.28.140 (Mar 25, 2021)

  • Our latest release adds some quality of service improvements for the PC and macOS apps for users with 60Hz and 59.94Hz monitors, or notebooks.
  • A new default Vsync streaming setting, called Adaptive VSync, helps reduce stutter on poor networks - without affecting latency. It also helps reduce latency on good networks. Adaptive VSync works with a select set of games, including: Counter-Strike: Global Offensive, Apex Legends™, Rocket League® and Destiny 2. We will look to add more games that can benefit from this feature.
  • In addition, macOS users will see latency reduced by up to 16ms in all games.
  • Adding or removing a game in My Library, and then closing and relaunching a game, will no longer result in a delay to see a refreshed list of added or removed games.
