NVIDIA launched a new category for their cloud streaming service, NVIDIA GeForce NOW, called RTX 3080, offering access to Ampere capable GPUs, as well as up to 1440p at 120fps graphics, 8-hour session lengths, and up to 4K HDR Shield TV resolution. This new tier is $99 for 6 months and replaces the original top tier for the NVIDIA GeForce NOW service.

What is surprising is what is happening to customers who have already paid for the Priority service. Reddit user LizzieLovesDaGlizzy noticed that when loading Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy game using the Priority service from NVIDIA that the FPS of the game was sitting at a maximum of 50fps and was unable to be altered. The user reached out to NVIDIA's customer service about the issue, only to find that it is intentional and that they limit their Priority tier users for some of the top and newest AAA games.
