Google Stadia is preparing to support servers with Nvidia GPUs - 9to5Google

Jun 24, 2022

It looks like Google Stadia and/or Immersive Stream for Games is preparing to shake up its graphic hardware with new support for servers built with Nvidia GPUs.

Since its launch in 2019, Google Stadia — and the Immersive Stream for Games service underlying it — has been powered by custom-built GPUs from AMD.

Based on information shared with us by a tipster, it seems Google may have plans for Stadia and Immersive Stream to support additional graphics hardware.

For now, there aren’t any clues to what specific Nvidia graphics card(s) may be coming to Stadia and Immersive Stream.

Given Stadia’s existing slate of games are generally optimized to run on AMD graphics cards, it’s not likely that Google would be switching its servers to run on Nvidia GPUs.

However, the more exciting possibility is that Google could be preparing a hardware upgrade for Stadia and Immersive Stream with newer-generation GPUs to play more graphically intensive games.
