Not all titles are supported, and some limitations will also depend on the GPU being used, but it’s still a great and easy way to enjoy modern features when possible.
“Our newest NVIDIA app beta update launches tomorrow, August 19th, at 9am PT, accompanied by a new Game Ready Driver, which is required for several new features. Download the app update by opting into beta and experimental feature Early Access in Settings > About, or grab the non-beta version the following week. And download our new driver from the app’s Drivers tab.”
