Ten subscribers per GPU means an average player can play at most 17 hours per week, even if the service can somehow load balance across time zones without unacceptable lag.
Having significantly more subscribers wouldn't give each player much time to play.
- Dylan16807 4y agoYeah that was the scenario laid out, that an average player with a $1600 GPU would use it 10% of the time. Whatever you think the real numbers are, you probably need about half a subscription to pay the bandwidth. I'd be more concerned about the electricity bill, since you'd be in the ballpark of 200kWh a month.
- ClumsyPilot 4y ago> average player with a $1600 GPU would use it 10% of the time. Average driver uses car <5% of the time, but you can't replace 20 cars with 1 uber if everyone needs to get to work at 9 am
- Dylan16807 4y agoSure, the model is too simple, but that doesn't change the ratio of gpu cost to bandwidth cost.
