The latency would be a challenge. You’re looking at an additional 100-175ms for each input, as well as the inbound transfer bandwidth for graphics. 

If you’re familiar with configuring large GPU virtual machines in Azure or AWS (and they aren’t  free, either) you’re welcome to try, but the simpler thing is just to budget money for a sim PC.

cheers

many thanks for that ........... back to the drawing board i guess!

 

P.S. looking at your location confirms my opinion that place names(as with the English language in general), can de endlessly interesting ..... i'm a bit of a scribbler

and many moons ago wrote a short story set at the time of the US Civil War............ as i did my research i realized how evocative were the place names where battles took place:

e.g. Mechanicsville, Bullrun, Fort Sumter, Manassas and so on ......... I live not a stone's throw from the battlefield at Bannockburn, one of the few times we got the better

of our southern neighbours!....... regards ........Alan
