NVIDIA provides a demonstration of Need for Speed: Most Wanted running on the Project Shield handheld gaming device. The game is streamed to the device via a PC with a GeForce GTX 680 graphics card.

We tucked a Tegra 4 processor and its custom 72-core GPU into Project SHIELD portable to satisfy our addiction to unrivaled Android gaming. Then we made it work with your GeForce GTX-powered PC to play all our favorite high-performance PC games. The result: an uncompromised gaming experience in a truly portable device. What you see below is our latest Project SHIELD: PC Mondays video. In this episode, we show off the visual eye candy that is Need For Speed. The PC’s GPU is doing all the graphics heavy lifting, allowing us to run the game with all the graphics bells and whistles enabled.
