My experience is the same as yours. Scenario 1 - You build a GPU+ gaming PC in the cloud, play for 35 minutes, have a 10 minute shut down policy, come back 5 days later, play for 45 minutes, and delete your cloud gaming PC. 35 minutes of playing + 10 minutes of idle time - This will cost $0.30 because Paperspace charges per minute rather than per hour. 5 days of storage for 500 GB - Storage is $10/month. For 5 days of storage, this will cost $1.67. 45 minutes of playing - This will cost $0.30. Delete your cloud gaming PC. Total cost for 1.33 hours of gaming in the cloud will be $2.27. Scenario 2 - You build a P5000 server, play 1 hour and 15 minutes 3 times a week for 2 months and then delete your cloud gaming computer. 1 hour and 15 minutes of game play - This will cost $1.16. If you play 3 times a week for two months, this is about $30.16 (1.16 per day * 3 days * 4.33 weeks per month * 2 months). Storage will cost $20 for two months of saved data for a 500 GB hard drive. Total cost of two months of gaming for about 32 hours in the cloud will be $50.16.
