A serious question - when will nvidia stop selling their products and start asking for rent? Like 50 bucks a month is a 4070, your hardware can be a 4090 but thats a 100 a month. I give it a year

It's more efficient to rent the same GPU to multiple people the same time, and Nvidia is already doing that with GeforceNow.

whenever the infrastructure is good enough they can keep the hardware and stream your workload to you.
