Our multi-GPU servers support up to 8 cards. However, additional GPU cards cannot be added to standard multi-GPU server plans. Alternatively, some single-GPU server plans, such as those featuring K80, RTX 4060, RTX 2060, RTX 3060 Ti, RTX A4000, and RTX A5000, support an extra GPU card.

Our GPU resources are not shared. Each server and VPS comes with a dedicated GPU card, ensuring that you have access to the full power and resources of the GPU without any sharing or contention. This setup allows you to maximize the performance of your applications and tasks that require GPU acceleration.

GPU servers, unlike regular servers, are equipped with Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in addition to Central Processing Units (CPUs). This allows GPU servers to leverage parallel processing power for tasks such as machine learning, data analytics, and scientific simulations, resulting in significantly faster computation times for these workloads. Regular servers rely solely on CPUs for processing, which may not offer the same level of performance for compute-intensive tasks that benefit from GPU acceleration.

Cases that typically require upgrading to a GPU server include handling large-scale datasets for machine learning or deep learning tasks, performing complex graphics processing, rendering, streaming, video editing, or accelerating other compute-intensive workloads that require parallel processing, such as multiple Android Emulators.

While both offer dedicated GPU resources, GPU VPS shares CPU and disk resources among users through virtualization, allowing for flexibility and scalability but potentially compromising performance due to resource sharing. Conversely, GPU dedicated servers grant exclusive access to hardware resources, ensuring consistent and dedicated performance for demanding tasks, albeit usually at a higher cost.

The billing model for GPU servers operates on monthly, quarterly, annually, and biennially cycles. Hourly billing is not currently available but may be introduced in the future.

Unfortunately, our $15 HDMI fee is a one-time setup charge per server. If you wish to switch to a different server, you'll be required to pay the $15 setup fee again for the new GPU server.

By default, we do not provide free trials for GPU servers. However, if you're unsure which GPU server plan best suits your needs, feel free to reach out to us. We're more than happy to offer professional recommendations. If we have sufficient stock available, we'll gladly provide a trial accordingly.

You can utilize popular Android emulators like BlueStacks, LDPlayer, Nox Player, and Memu on our GPU VPS or GPU dedicated servers for running multiple Android applications and games. Explore further to find the server plan that perfectly fits your instance quantity needs..

While a server with sufficient CPU can handle emulator tasks, opting for a GPU server can provide enhanced performance, especially for graphics-intensive applications and gaming emulation. GPU servers excel at handling complex graphical tasks efficiently, resulting in smoother and more responsive emulation experiences.

Yes, GPU servers can indeed be used to deploy websites, the same as traditional CPU-based servers. However, it's important to note that GPU servers are typically overkill for standard website hosting needs and are more commonly employed for tasks requiring intensive parallel processing, such as machine learning or scientific computing.

Light games and heavy games are terms used to describe the performance requirements and resource usage of different types of video games. The classification of a game as light or heavy depends on factors such as the game's graphics, processing power, memory usage, and overall system requirements.

Light Games:
Light games are typically characterized by their low system requirements and minimal resource usage. These games are designed to run smoothly on a wide range of devices, including low-end or older hardware. Light games often have simple graphics, basic gameplay mechanics, and smaller file sizes. They are suitable for devices with limited processing power, such as smartphones, tablets, and low-spec computers. Examples of light games include puzzle games, casual games, and 2D platformers.

Heavy Games:
Heavy games, on the other hand, are more demanding in terms of system requirements and resource usage. These games often feature high-quality graphics, complex gameplay mechanics, and immersive environments. Heavy games require powerful hardware, including high-end processors, dedicated graphics cards, and ample memory. They may also have larger file sizes due to the high-resolution textures, detailed models, and advanced visual effects. Heavy games are typically found in genres such as first-person shooters, open-world RPGs, and realistic simulations.

The distinction between light games and heavy games is important for gamers and developers alike. Gamers with low-end devices can focus on light games that their systems can handle without performance issues. Developers can optimize their games for different hardware configurations and target specific audiences based on the game's classification as light or heavy.

Here is a list of common light games and heavy games that can be run on Android emulators like BlueStacks or LDPlayer.

Light Games:
