How I launched Cyberpunk in the cloud: part 1

In artillery shooting lessons:





- The cannon fires, and the projectile flies along a parabola ...





- Comrade Major, if you put the cannon on its side, it will be possible to shoot around the corner?





- It is possible, but according to the Charter it is not allowed





Just a spoiler that you will hardly be able to play comfortably, but you may get pleasure from the process of preparing for the game. Sit venia verbo!

In the second part, I plan to answer the following urgent questions:





  • How do you run Cyberpunk directly on bare metal? Do you really need to install a grid driver?





  • Can I configure Passthrough GPU on ESXi ?





  • How do I run Cyberpunk on a VM with a cloud-provided GPU? If there is Passthrough, do you need a data center driver or a grid?





  • What level of service will the trial version of vGPU with Horizon show ?





  • Will you be able to customize your Horizon?





  • How will the transfer from Dallas (~ 170ms) to Frankfurt (~ 30ms) affect the service level?





  • Finally, what about RTX?
