It is almost 5 years to the day since I published my first video about Cloud Gaming, and wow, have things changed since then. Official GRID-supported GPUs from the Maxwell and Pascal lineups are less than $150, but their performance is far from ideal when it comes to modern games. If only there were some GPU out there that could run modern titles, cost right around $1000 used, and was unlocked for vGPU support...

Everyone... Meet the Nvidia RTX A5000.
