"To use GeForce NOW, you�ll need to meet a number of requirements. First, you�ll need an NVIDIA SHIELD Android TV, SHIELD portable, or SHIELD tablet (with the latest software updates installed) and a SHIELD-approved 5GHz router. The latest SHIELD Hub app from the Google Play store must be installed. And your broadband connection must offer download speeds of at least 12Mb/s. 20Mb/s is recommended for 720p / 60 FPS quality, and 50Mb/s is recommended for 1080p / 60 FPS. You must also have a 60ms or lower ping time to a GeForce NOW server, though 40ms or lower is recommended. " I like how they refer to that as 'Broadband Connection' Sounds more like DIA to me, since it's continuous sustained traffic. I'm guessing buffering or caching video games doesn't work well.
