 KEY FEATURES 

 

♦NVIDIA SHIELD TV Box Upgrade，NVIDIA SHIELD TV Pro Box♦

 The Pro version looks more like a mini-game console.

Nvidia Shield TV and Nvidia Shield TV Pro both use Tegra X1+ chips and support 4K, Dolby Vision, Dolby Atmos and AI upgrades. The specifications of the Nvidia Shield TV Pro are slightly better, with 3GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage to the regular Shield TV’s 2GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage. The enhanced specifications mean that Pro should run more smoothly when playing games locally, while also being able to handle basic tasks better.

Nvidia Shield TV Pro is also equipped with two USB 3.0 ports-this is essential for hardcore gamers who don’t want to be restricted by Bluetooth to connect gaming keyboards and mice.

So what do these specifications mean for gamers looking to purchase one of these new devices in 2019? The more powerful specifications of the Nvidia Shield TV Pro mean that it can run-what Nvidia calls it-“advanced Android games.” Including: “Half-Life 2” series, “Borderlands 2”, “Resident Evil 5” and so on.
