Don't rent a GPU for gaming, unless you're doing something like a full-on game streaming service. +10ms isn't much for some games, but would be noticeable on plenty.

IMO you want those frames getting rendered as close to the monitor as possible, and you'd probably have a better time with lower fidelity graphics rendered locally. You'd also get to keep gaming during a network outage.

I don't even think network latency is the real problem, it's all the buffering needed to encode a game's output to a video stream and keep it v-synced with a network-attached display.

I've tried game streaming under the best possible conditions (<1ms network latency) and it still feels a little off. Especially shooters and 2D platformers.

Yeah - there's no way to play something like Overwatch/Fornite on a streaming service and have a good time. The only things that seems to be ok is turned based or platformers.

Absolutely. By "and lesser powered ones for gaming" I meant purchase.
