Here's a fun quick demo I made with NVIDIA vGPU on Omnissa Horizon 8, using an NVIDIA L4 GPU, and the L4-12Q Profile.
This video is just for fun, and is just to show some of the capabilities and potential use-cases of the technology, hardware, and software, in this case, Cloud Gaming.
In this video:
-Quick Introduction to NVIDIA vGPU with Omnissa Horizon 8
-Validating NVIDIA vGPU functionality (with DirectX Diagnostics, Horizon Performance Monitor Tracker)
-MechWarrior 5 Cloud Gaming
-Heaven Benchmark
Environment Details:
-2 x HPE DL360p Gen8 Servers (2 x 10 Core Procs, 398GB of RAM)
--1 Server with NVIDIA A2
--1 Server with NVIDIA L4
-VMware vSphere 8U2b
-Omnissa Horizon 8

Cool demo. What was the latency like? I suppose that would probably be the one major roadblock to cloud-gaming (centralised or decentralised); you have the ping between you and the virtual desktop gaming instance, and possibly also the ping to the game server (for a multiplayer game) to contend with.
Also, there is a channel called Craft Computing which experimented a few times with using vGPUs for gaming in a homelab setup.

Thanks! Latency was actually great (I have around 15ms RTT between my condo and where the servers are). And just an FYI, this is more of a PoC and demo of capabilities, cloud-gaming has a way to go, until we're all on fiber! :)
