Earlier this year at CES, NVIDIA announced a new gaming device they called Project Shield. Project Shield is unique in that the device is essentially an all in one gaming device with the controller and screen. Project Shield runs on Android which means all of the popular games that have been released on Android will work seamlessly with the device. However, NVIDIA took it one step further when they announced that Project Shield is capable of streaming games from GeForce GTX 650+ enabled PC's. Last week NVIDIA showed us a Real Boxing demo, and this week they are showing off Need for Speed Most Wanted running from a PC to Project Shield.
NVIDIA asserts that the graphics processing is not actually being handled by the device itself but by the PC's GPU which allows for smooth gaming without compromise on graphics performance. With such popular PC games as Assassins Creed III, Far Cry 3 and Need For Speed Most Wanted, it's no wonder that many are keeping their eyes out and wallets open for when NVIDIA announces the availability of Project Shield. Project Shield is a great innovation from NVIDIA if not only held back by the requirement of at least a GTX 650 in your PC. Let us know what you think about the demo in the video below.
