Nvidia has released a nice update to the Shield TVs. With the latest refresh, content can be upscaled to 4K quality. This feature has just arrived on GeForce Now and PCs that have Nvidia GPUs from the 10-series upwards.
The Nvidia update v2.0.37 available for GeForce Now allows all users to start streaming content in higher quality on their machines. This is made possible with the new ‘AI Enhanced’ mode and is built on similar technology that Shield TV debuted years ago. At the time, though, this feature was only available for video. This feature works by using on-device processing to improve the quality of the stream.
This AI-upscaling feature is only available for GeForce Now on Nvidia Shield TVs (2019 or newer) and computers equipped with Nvidia GPUs from the 10-series and newer. Also, AI-upscaling isn’t the only feature available with the latest version.
GeForce Now players can now also stream games in advanced quality with the new ‘Enhanced’ mode. This mode will use the Lanczos filter to improve scaling. However, the ‘Standard’ mode will still be available for those that prefer it.
Nvidia also recently announced that GeForce would also be releasing more custom streaming quality alongside these features. This update to the web experience will pick up the resolution on the specific device you’re using and adjust the streaming quality accordingly. This week, GeForce Now will also be released as a stable app on LG TVs.
Finally, Nvidia also released the latest games coming to GeForce Now. They are:
- Mortal Online 2
- Daemon X Machina
- Metro Exodus Enhanced Edition
- Tropico 6
- Assassin’s Creed III Deluxe Edition
These improvements are set to change how viewers and players experience the graphics quality. We look forward to seeing exactly how this feature works and how it develops in the future.
