Nvidia Gives Shield Hub a Material Design Makeover

Nvidia was all nestled all snug in its bed, while visions of Lollipop's Material Design danced in its head

Nvidia today announced that its Shield Hub received some major updates along with a new look, improved GameStrem experience in console mode, and better connectivity to GRID, the company's on-demand game streaming service that resides in the cloud. The new layout comes hot on the heels of Android 5.0 Lollipop making its way to Nvidia's Shield Tablet, which is where the "Material Design" comes into play.
Following the redesign, you can see more of your games with less scrolling in the Shield Hub. It's supposed to be easier to navigate with large lists that make finding games a cinch. It all reflects Google's Material Design language introduced in Lollipop with subtle animations, layers, and updated iconography.
There's also an improved GameStream experience in console mode. If you have a fast Wi-Fi connection (5GHz 802.11n/ac required), you can configure a display output of 1080p at 60 frames per second. Just go to My Games > Streaming Setting (top right) > Show Advanced Options > Quality and set the Max Resolution to 1080p and Frame Rate to 60fps.
