It was an exciting week for many gamers, as NVIDIA launched the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, alongside support for Avowed and several other additions on GeForce NOW.
Gamers are in for a treat this week. NVIDIA has launched the GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, powered by the Blackwell architecture, to enhance creativity and gaming performance. But that’s not all—players will be pleased to know that GeForce NOW is expanding its cloud gaming support for Avowed, HUMANITY, Lost Records: Bloom & Rage and many more.
Joining the RTX 50-series, the RTX 5070 Ti stands out for users looking to balance high-graphical gaming and productivity with the assistance of AI. Powered by the Blackwell architecture, users won’t have much trouble editing videos, creating photorealistic 3D objects, generating AI-powered visuals, and running games from 1440p to 4K resolution at a high FPS with the assistance of DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation. If you are someone mainly looking to enhance your creativity work, the RTX 5070 Ti will feature:
- 5th-gen Tensor Core with FP4 support – Run AI generative models with double the AI performance and reduced VRAM requirement.
- 9th-gen dual encoders + 6th-gen decoders – Enable 4:2:2 pro-grade colour and speeds up the export time by up to 8x for video editing.
- DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation – Through Chaos Vantage and D5 Render, navigate large 3D scenes with smooth frame rates,
- FP4 Optimization – Generate images in eight seconds when using AI models like FLUX.1 [dev]
- 16GB GDDR7 Memory + 896 GB/sec Bandwidth – Compared to the RTX 4070 Ti, it is 78% faster. The faster speed will allow users to take their creativity to the next level without worrying about bottlenecks.
Shifting focus to GeForce NOW, the cloud-gaming service will expand its support for several games this week, including the recently released Avowed, developed by Obsidian Entertainment and published by Xbox Game Studios. Set in the world of Eora, the Living Lands is home to ancient magic but has fallen into despair after a mysterious plague spread chaos across the island. As an Envoy of Adyr, you are tasked with investigating the phenomenon, yet feel destined for something greater.
During your adventure, be mindful of your choices, as they affect many outcomes. Wield weapons ranging from swords to magic to fight enemies, and build a team—from a former mercenary to a wizard—to assist in achieving your goal.
Players looking to play Avowed and other games at higher resolution and framerates through GeForce NOW can sign up as Performance and Ultimate members. Performance members can play the games in 1440p at 60 FPS, while the Ultimate members can play in 4K resolution at 60 FPS, with the perks of DLSS 3 and NVIDIA Reflex. Alongside the memberships, the day pass is available to purchase in limited quantities, granting 24-hour access to the powerful cloud gaming rigs with the benefits of the Performance and Ultimate tiers.
Before wrapping up, many games were announced to be supported in the cloud gaming service as part of GFN Thursday. The games that will be supported include:
