To be honest, once Arm and RISC-V becomes mainstream, I'd probably play in low settings with a iGPU - matter of fact, I've been eyeing on the 780M for the same reason. GPU is cool, sure, but SoC and SoM is much convinient.
Small portable home computing devices that you take with you and connect to a screen/ peripherals.
Local GPU and AI power servers in your garage or rented as an online servers.
I have been envisioning this for a while. My Desktop is in a state of “finished” i may build one more “gaming pc” after this but then i am hoping the future is ready.
You can spin up a cheap VPS in a matter of minutes for less than five dollars. You do not need anything but a credit card usually. If you want a dedicated server all to yourself then it gets significantly more expensive but no less straightforward. If you want to put your own hardware online you’ll have to look at a collocation seller or arrange something with an ISP.
Of course if your home internet connection upstream is good enough, and your ISP permissive enough you could also just do dynamic DNS and have everything running off that.

How does one get started renting online servers? Are there any requirements or licenses or anything like that?
99% uptime seems stressful but awesome
