?Remote desktops that have GPU (videocard)?

[CyberPunk74689]

First, sorry if this doesn't fit here. I thought of posting here but since the answer it's related to the people that offer this services I think it fits here.

Is there any remote desktop that have a videocard so that I can install games and take captures of them? Obviously I don't intend to abuse ie be playing games all day in a remote desktop just to test them. I ask this because in this thread I was told that remote desktops came without GPU so I wouldn't be able to play games but if so how can people take captures of movies? Is it because movies are ok using the onboard graphic card?

Thanks in advance for your help!

You can get solutions like this.

You would need 10-30 MS to be able to get around 20FPS. As this is possible but maybe a bit slower.

You need a good uplink. I've seen these offers before somewhere not sure. I believe you can get an Nvida testla your looking at around 1-2K on them cards.

I can have a look for you. you would need KVM to be able to take advantage of this. Need an HDMI one.

Only if i can be arsed.

Otherwise you can save up for a decent computer and download the games maybe?

CyberPunk movies screenshots are easy to take as there are lot of softwares like Thumbnail Me etc... Taking game's screenshots is a bit too much i feel

You'll probably need a to order custom dedi, I doubt that anybody will let you share a server with other users and run games on it.

Sorry for my noobishness in this subject but I didn't understand half of what you told me What do you mean by '10-30 MS to be able to get around 20FPS' (I understand FPS=frames per second but 10-30 MS<--- what's that??)

Concerning KVM and HDMI I searched in wikipedia and will read about them later. Now I'm busy but I will PM you my messenger and if you can we can chat next friday.

And my computer is pretty good even though it can't run the latest games. However the main reason is download speed : in a remote desktop I can download a dvd in 5 minutes whereas with my 1Mbit/s (I download at 106 KB/s) It takes me 12 hours and nowadays most games weigh 7 GB or more so thats 24 hours . I guess that pro uploaders aren't taking screenshots from their home but from a rdp.

Yep I suppose so also. But by taking a screenshot I mean just doing ctrl+alt+print (sorry for my noobishness again I never used a rdp before, is it possible to take screen captures isn't it? Or we can only use the mouse? If a rdp is managed as a virtual machine, well, in a VM I can take screen captures and they are stored in the clipboard of the host OS)

I know but as I said before it is just to take screen captures. Maybe it would demand too much from the server but it would be five minutes only

Playing games over RDP sounds really irrealistic. Dont even think VNC, or MS RDP supports that

Pro uploaders get them from google .

1. playing games on remote will lag, you will have high ping i think.
2. if you want to start a gameserver, then you don't need a graphic card.

OK but who uploaded that screenshot for the first time? And those that post screenshots installing the game and all that?

2. if you want to start a gameserver, then you don't need a graphic card.

I don't want to start a gameserver, just to download an ISO, mount it with daemon tools, install the game taking screenshots of the process, run the game, take a screenshot and exit...Just that. Then I use paint to save the screenshot as a jpg.

hmm... why don't you do that just local? wouldn't it be easier? or is it because of the slow local connection?
