GeForce Now consists of a network of servers based in data centers in North America, and Europe that hosts and serves the GeForce Now game library to members in those regions.[3] The servers utilize Nvidia Tesla graphics cards, and can stream games at up to 1080p resolution at 60 frames per second. Nvidia recommended a 50 Mbit/s internet connection for the 1080/60p stream, but the service can also stream at 720p/60p for 25 Mbit/s connections, 720/30p frames per second for connections higher than 10 Mbit/s, and use adaptive bitrate streaming to scale the quality based on bandwidth.[4][5] The server-side hardware will be upgraded over time to improve the quality of the streams
