Hi there! Sorry if this section was wrong yesterday. Today I first read about Nvidia GeForce Now and have some questions to ask. To put it simply: I own a gaming laptop made by MSI named the GE75 Raider from 2020, running Windows 10 in 64-bit mode. I live in Slovakia, which is in Europe. My internet speed has a download of 500 megabits per second and an upload of 100 megabits per second (I checked this yesterday). I want to play Warhammer 2 and Total War games, even though my computer is good but not strong enough for these titles so I am looking at the Premium RTX 3080 option.

First question: Do you have to install the games on your computer to play them on GeForce Now? These games need a lot of space. I have 500 gigabytes in an SSD and 1 terabyte in an old HDD spinning at 5400 rpm. Since my free space is only around 800 gigabytes, I would only be able to store the games in the HDD drive.

Second question: Is my internet connection strong enough to play these two games?

Third question: Even though I do not have a 4K monitor, can I still play on a screen set to 1920 by 1080 pixels? My current monitor has a refresh rate of 240 Hz.

You do not need to install anything on your computer. Your internet connection is fine, but you must check the latency when connecting to Nvidia servers. Ideally, it should be under 40ms. I think German servers are probably closest to Slovakia compared to other Nvidia EU servers like France, London, the Netherlands, Bulgaria, or Sweden. Are game settings similar as on a normal PC? Things like video resolution seem the same too.
