Here's What You'll Need to Run Nvidia's GeForce Experience Share Beta

Nvidia has opened up beta access to its updated GeForce Experience. The beta brings some cool new features to GeForce Experience, but one of the most interesting is perhaps GameStream Co-op.

According to Nvidia, GameStream co-op allows you to stream a game over the Internet and allows you to play "just as if your friend was sitting in the chair next to you."

Other features in the beta include YouTube integration and an in-game overlay that allows "in-game access to your favorite features," such as Twitch broadcasting and Nvidia's Shadowcast.

Here is the complete list of required specs for taking advantage of the GameStream function in the beta. Keep in mind, the guest computer involved in the stream also has a set of required specs, listed at the end.
