NVIDIA have today released the Beta for their new Native Linux app for GeForce NOW, available as a Flatpak so it should run across most x86-64 systems. Thanks to NVIDIA I was able to get some early testing in to see how the experience holds up, with NVIDIA providing Ultimate-plan access.

What actually is it? GeForce NOW is a cloud gaming service from NVIDIA. It allows you to play games streamed from their servers to your devices. This includes various free to play games and games you own from your own libraries across Steam, Epic Games Store, Xbox PC Game Pass, Battle.net, Ubisoft Connect and EA. There’s currently over 4,500 games available.

    Small correction: the A100, H100, and B200 all have PCIe configurations.

    But as you said, no gaming. No directX and no HDMI output even

      Yeah. They aren’t common though, especially with the H200 and on where they’re mostly sold as SXM.

      The A100 can actually game, either streaming it or using another card for output. The H100 technically can; it has everything needed, but (if I recall correctly) so few ROPs that it’s as slow as molasses.

      Interestingly, the AMD MI300X and on omit ROPs entirely. Unlike Nvidia, aren’t needed for any backwards compatibility, I suppose.
