Hello, I’ve been enjoying Paperspace instances (A4000 these days) for a while. However, since a week, I had catastrophic storage performances. I suspect they started virtualizing Windows (since they announced dropping support for new users).

Can someone suggest an alternative?

Here are my criterias:

  • support for Windows templates
  • no upfront cost (210€ upfront on Akamai, 100€ for OVH, seriously for 0.8$/h instances!)
  • available in EU
  • GPU models appropriate for gaming
  • affordable prices, I’m currently paying 0.8$/h + 11$ for monthly storage (500GB SSD + one snapshot)

        Sure. You might need that for the really computing-intensive applications, like games that use locally hosted models. You’re asking for rented GPUs rather than buying the hardware yourself, so I’m guessing you want to play with the big stuff.

          OK thanks I’ll have a try! Yesterday I found g4-standard-12 instances (GCE) are not available unfortunately (got resource_availability error on all EU regions I tested…)
