LG TVs are the first to get 4K 120Hz Nvidia GeForce NOW game streaming – anyone want RTX 5080 power without the cost?
- 4K 120Hz cloud gaming on LG TVs from September 2025
- GeForce Now also upgraded on LG monitors, on PCs and on Steam Deck
- Requires a GeForce NOW Ultimate subscription
Nvidia has announced a massive gaming upgrade for LG TVs: they’ll be able to deliver cloud-based 4K 120Hz gaming via GeForce NOW – provided you have a subscription to GeForce NOW Ultimate and a compatible TV.
That’s not all. The same upgrade that’s powering those TVs is also bringing cloud gaming at up to 5K 120Hz on LG monitors, and up to 360fps at 1080p on PCs.
The high-performance streaming is thanks to the powerful combination of Nvidia’s Blackwell architecture and its GeForce RTX 5080-class GPUs in the company’s streaming servers: they do the heavy lifting and stream the data directly to and from your TV, monitor or PC.
GeForce Now offers upgrades for everyone
As FlatpanelsHD reports, GeForce Now will also up the frame rates on Steam Deck from 60fps to 90fps, will deliver “high-performance gaming” on Macs by offering access to the new-gen GPUs, and will stream at up to 360fps on PCs at 1080p.
The Blackwell architecture and RTX 5080-class GPUs are enormously powerful: Nvidia says that they outperform the PlayStation 5 Pro by over three times, delivering a whopping 62 teraflops.
The updated service also promises better color accuracy, smoother streaming thanks to the use of the AV1 codec at up to 100Mbps, and AI-powered video filters “for select games” to reduce on-screen blur and noise.
According to Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, “Bringing the Nvidia Blackwell architecture, one of the world’s most important computer graphics innovations, to GeForce Now represents the biggest leap in cloud gaming ever. With Blackwell, GeForce Now offers even more stunning graphics, the fastest frame rates and negligible latency to turn any device into a high-quality gaming rig that rivals nearly every other product on the market today.”
The GeForce NOW upgrade with the NVIDIA Blackwell architecture will start rolling out to subscribers in September. You can see LG’s list of GeForce NOW-compatible TVs here – it’s not yet clear if they’ll all support 4K 120Hz from GeForce NOW even if they can support it over HDMI.
But we’d say it’s pretty safe to assume that if you have a newer and more premium LG TV – especially an OLED – it should be safe to assume that you’re supported. We already rate LG OLEDs among the best gaming TVs, so this just solidifies it (at least, until others catch up).
