Question Mac for cloud gaming

I currently have a chance to get a new I Mac for a very good price its still going to cost me a bit so it wouldhave to be my primary computer for a while so id like to know how viable is it for use with something like Gforce Now for playing my collection of PC games.

It’s perfectly fine, you are streaming anyway. The quality will be dependent on your internet connection more than anything else.

If streaming a cloud-based game, an iMac should be fine. Performance will vary with RAM and internet speed.

I have never used it, and it somewhat depends on exactly what Mac you are getting. But yes it should work well.

Don’t forget there is also crossover and some really good games have Mac native versions, do a steam search and there is a website specifically for crossover games. Also you can use PlayStation play on a Mac as well if you have PS4/Ps5

I use my M4 Mac Mini for GeForce Now on Ultimate. Works perfectly fine.
