airgpu review

airgpu suits people who play only now and then and do not want another subscription. You buy credit and pay by the hour for a cloud PC: the vendor lists an NVIDIA Tesla T4 rig, which it compares to a GeForce GTX 1080, from $0.65 per hour, an L4 from $0.90, an A10G from $1.05 and an L40S from $1.20. Like Shadow, it is a full PC, so you install games from Steam, Epic Games Launcher or other stores, then connect through Parsec or Moonlight at up to 4K. Storage costs $3.50 a month per 50 GB and starts at 100 GB, and prices exclude VAT. airgpu recommends at least 10 Mbit/s download and 2 Mbit/s upload, and supports Windows, Linux, macOS, Android and ChromeOS devices. There is no free trial, and connecting through a third party streaming app takes more setup than the one click apps on this list.
