More Information About Apex "N Series" Laptops and Desktops

The Apex "N Series" laptops and desktops are cutting-edge devices designed for users who want high performance for tasks like streaming, browsing, and productivity. However, it is important to note that Apex N Series products are not designed to play games on their own. These devices do not include the hardware typically required to run modern games natively.

To enjoy gaming on an Apex N Series product, you must use GeForce Now, NVIDIA's cloud gaming platform. This service allows you to stream games from powerful remote servers, providing an excellent gaming experience without relying on the internal hardware of the N Series product.

Key Requirements for Gaming:

  1. GeForce Now: You must download, install, and register for GeForce Now to play most games.
  2. Internet Connection: A stable, high-speed internet connection is essential for smooth gameplay.
  3. Game Ownership: You must own the games you'd like to play, and they must be compatible with GeForce Now.

Important: Games must be played through GeForce Now. They cannot be run directly on the N Series product.
