Rent a cloud gaming PC by the hour

Connect Noland to your own Vast.ai account and use live marketplace listings to choose the GPU hardware and configuration that fit your game and budget. Noland then provisions a Linux gaming environment and configures the NVIDIA software stack, Sunshine streaming host, and WireGuard networking needed for a direct connection.

Provisioning averages 10–15 minutes, but it is infrastructure setup rather than an instant session. Once the environment is ready, your desktop remains the place where you manage the cloud machine and begin streaming.

• Choose from currently available Vast.ai GPU listings
• Provision the gaming environment from the Noland desktop client
• Connect through WireGuard and stream from the Sunshine host

Noland has a $0 monthly subscription. Compute is billed through the marketplace while your instance runs, so cost follows the hardware, host, and live supply you select rather than a fixed gaming plan.

A typical overall compute range is about $0.10–$0.40 per hour, depending on current supply and configuration. That range is a practical reference, not a quote: listings change, availability is not guaranteed, and higher-end or scarce hardware can cost more.

Noland is designed to enable a direct stream between your device and the provisioned host. In measurements, Noland adds about 8 ms of overhead above the natural network-route latency; that is not an 8 ms total-latency promise.

Your actual experience also depends on distance to the host, internet routing, local network quality, encoding and decoding, the selected GPU, game settings, and display. No marketplace configuration can guarantee a particular FPS or end-to-end latency.

• Prefer hosts with a sensible network route to your location
• Use a stable local connection when possible
• Match GPU choice and game settings to your performance target

The provisioned host is Linux, not a Windows VM. Linux support, anti-cheat systems, launchers, DRM, peripherals, and Windows-only features can all affect whether a particular title runs correctly, so check the games that matter to you before choosing this model.

Treat marketplace instances as disposable infrastructure rather than assuming local files will always be available after the instance lifecycle. Use game-supported cloud saves or another appropriate backup approach where available, and stop instances when you are finished to avoid continued compute charges.
