NVIDIA Gaming PC - Windows Server 2019
NVIDIA | 512.59Windows, Windows Server 2019 Base 1803 - 64-bit Amazon Machine Image (AMI)
So far very satisfied with this AMI
I am using this AMI for about a month. I am using it as a base for a Cloud Gaming PC. On top of it I just add to install:
• Parsec, to stream out the video from the Cloud PC to my local PC;
• VB-Audio, to capture the audio from the games; and
• Steam, to access/install my games.
I started with a G4gn.xlarge and this is enough for most of the games. For more demanding games – like Flight Simulator 2020, which is GPU and CPU demanding – I use a G4gn.2xlarge and I can run it smoothly at 30-40 fps on Full HD and High-End settings.
So far, I am very satisfied with this AMI.

Recommend for any Darwinites looking for straight forward CloudGaming
Myself is located in Australia/Darwin and no real CloudGaming services exist at present in the area (with good enough speeds)
-Creating one of these Instances was easy as pie
Running via the closest servers (Sydney)
-approx 55ms re latency (sweet!)
Enjoy this service :>
Awesome service for a good price.
The graphics card on it is not meant for gaming, and may struggle at the most demanding, but it's perfect for everything else, plus, it's one of the most expensive in the world, and here you can start using it for just a few dollars. I approve.
Works well. You can game on this but password has to be generated differently.
The instance cloud init has issues like others have said. Use the following link to generate your password. This is the safest AWS based method to reset your password. https://www.assistanz.com/recover-ec2-windows-administrator-password-in-aws/
Once this is done, the graphics drivers are working well. I would recommend installing parsec and using that for gaming.
This works very well
It was nice to have this all preconfigured in a ready-to-go image for my use. The other reviews are correct, in that Cloud Init is broken here for some reason. NVIDIA should fix that. You will not be able to retrieve the password via the Console. However, if you use SSM Session Manager, you can inspect the log file located at "C:\ProgramData\Amazon\EC2-Windows\Launch\Log\Ec2Launch.log", get the base64'd encrypted password, and decrypt it with OpenSSL RSAUtl.
Does what I need it to
Works perfectly for someone who just wants to be able to log into the instance via RDP and run video games and doesn't care about the details like driver versions.
