How much does it cost for a GPU accelerated VM in the cloud? It would be great if there was an automated way to spin up a VM, install your software and then destroy the VM when you're done. After all, GeForce Now and Google Play don't let you play your full Steam library.
- tryauuum 4y agoI wonder if there even are a lot of clouds that provide consumer GPUs. I heard GPUs designed for computation doesn't perform as well in games
- mirker 4y agoThe dealbreaker is that consumer GPUs (and their drivers) have a terms of use prohibiting various aspects of datacenter usage.
- archi42 4y agoThe vGPU feature can be unlocked for several Nvidia GPUs: https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock https://github.com/DualCoder/vgpu_unlock I did not yet try it myself (maybe it doesn't even work anymore?), and it might not be an option for businesses.
- fxtentacle 4y agoAbout $0.5 per hour for a 3080 equivalent. And yes, I have an image that I can spin up on-demand.
- notpushkin 4y agoThis seems to be a neat setup. I've found this script a couple days ago: https://github.com/gcloudrig/gcloudrig https://github.com/gcloudrig/gcloudrig (haven't given it a try just yet but surely looking forward to)
- fxtentacle 4y agoYes, that's very similar to what I built. That repo is using Parsec (also free for private users) as the game streaming implementation.
- putty182 4y agoHappy to see it's still getting use! The NVIDIA T4 VWS GPUs aren't as flashy as they used to be and there's no option for faster CPU cores in GCP, but for medium-setting ray traced gaming it'll still do the trick!
- pulketo 4y agocongrats, you invented serverless gpus ;)...
