Admittedly, getting a gaming PC has become quite complicated between inflation and the ever-increasing price of GPUs. Why not try another solution in this case?
Between inflation in everyday life and the price of computer equipment which continues to increase, it sometimes becomes difficult to obtain a powerful PC without spending a real fortune. In this case, why not opt for Cloud Computing? This is precisely what the French company SHADOW offers with new offers, just to adapt to everyone. Obviously the counterpart is that you need a good internet connection and you do not physically have the PC at home since it is a server. But it remains a viable solution so as not to spend too many euros at once.
A more affordable gaming or creative PC
SHADOW therefore offers new offers that bear the name of Shadow for Makers, or PC in cloud computing for creatives… but also gamers if you want to combine the two. In a context of high demand for GPU capacities in current games, this is sometimes an interesting solution. If the entry-level offer Spark for Makers do not change, Aurora for Makers, Zenith for Makers et Lightning for Makers all benefit from an increase in allocated RAM. You can find the 4 configurations in the image below:
42.99 euros per month to take advantage of a Quadro RTX 5000 with 16 GB of VRAM and a 4.5 Ghz Xeon processor and 27 GB of RAM this amounts in total to 512 euros per year. To obtain this same material it will take more than 5 years if you want a physical version of the PC. Clearly enough to cover these costs. The RTX 5000 alone is well worth 2000 euros and in terms of power it offers you the equivalent of an RTX 3080 even if it is superior for certain games.
For those who want to spend less, know that you can also find the Shadow Power offer which allows you to take advantage of an RTX 3070 at 14.99 euros per month. On the other side, however, you will be more limited in CPU and RAM (16 GB against 27 GB in the Aurora offer).
Cloud Computing and Cloud Gaming, a viable solution?
For some time this type of PC offer, which also exists at GeForce Now but in the form of Cloud Gaming, is a good compromise to the more traditional purchase of a PC. The problem is that you are not master of your computer in the sense that if a network failure affects the server, you can no longer use your PC. And you are also totally dependent on your fiber connection. Without it, you can do absolutely nothing.
