Out of curiosity, can you... run video games with it?
- boulos 10y agoNo. The K80 is a Compute-only device from NVIDIA (i.e., it won't run OpenGL or DirectX). We've previously announced that cards with Display are coming "soon".
- svdree 10y agoActually, the K80 does run OpenGL. Source: I'm building a remote rendering solution that runs on a couple of K80's, and it works just fine.
- curuinor 10y ago... if you can deal with the 250-2000ms display lag sure and you have to use a remote windowing dealie
- wickedlogic 10y agoIs that number based on your experience using it this way with something like RDP/TurboVNC, or anecdotal based on other cloud providerS?
- curuinor 10y agoI tried with AWS GPU once and only once. Probably if you spend time and effort you can get it down a fair bit
- NegatioN 10y agoFrom my experience, network in GCE is way more stable and usable than it's AWS counterpart. So maybe we can see another OnLive rise again ;) (I'm joking, but there has to be a day when it's possible, right?)
- boulos 10y agoI'm only 23ms from us-west1. See my other note about OpenGL/DirectX right now, but you shouldn't assume anything like those round-trip times...
- mullen 10y agoDon't use Wi-Fi. My lag was 300ms from my desktop to US-West-2 and then I used an ethernet cable and it dropped to 30ms.
- curuinor 10y agoI use ethernet for that sort of thing. I did get 200ms and 2000ms latency regularly anyhow
- positr0n 10y agoNo, but there are guides out there to use SteamLink for gaming on EC2. https://lg.io/2015/07/05/revised-and-much-faster-run-your-own-highend-cloud-gaming-service-on-ec2.html https://lg.io/2015/07/05/revised-and-much-faster-run-your-ow...
