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.
How does one get started renting online servers? Are there any requirements or licenses or anything like that?
99% uptime seems stressful but awesome
Personally i am huge fan of owning my own data so i only have experience with self hosting from a home server.
You can probably find places pretty easily if you look for “cloud computing”, “cloud gpu”
I am pretty sure you don’t need licenses to start. Renting a last gen gpu may be expensive though (pay by the hour) this way of decentralized compute is becoming more and more common for developers but still has a while to go.
I recommend waiting a few more years and keeping an eye on how services like nvidia cloud gaming evolve and how mainstream working with virtual machines becomes for the average office worker.
