    Pricing is great, but currently the service doesn't offer GPUs with RTX capabilities. I spoke with them directly and they said they were planning on upgrading their services to include it in the future but didn't give me a date for when that'll be happening. Keep an eye on them though :)

    The game library is lacking, and the connections are poor. I would rate it 4 out of 10.
