This is already a thing:
- https://parsecgaming.com/ https://parsecgaming.com/
- https://www.paperspace.com/ https://www.paperspace.com/
Those two collaborate to do more or less exactly what you've described. It ends up looking a lot like RDP/VNC, but without the latency.
If you take the time to calculate Paperspace's profit margin, you'll see that it's a risky business to be in. You'd have to buy GPUs in bulk, and, even then, you're competing with the same company that's selling you the GPUs.
Nvidia doesn't license the most useful API, Nvidia GRID (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_GRID https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nvidia_GRID), with consumer cards. You have to get their datacenter-grade cards (e.g., the Tesla line) if you want access to the most relevant APIs. It's possible to unlock consumer cards for this purpose, but, as you're lacking the respective license, you're liable to get sued. This effectively means Nvidia is two slices of your pie instead of just one. (They can do whatever they want with their own hardware an APIs.)
