Click the button on this page and it will tell you the latency to every AWS datacenter:

For me (London) it looks like I could get a latency of 28ms if I hosted my rig in their Dublin datacenter, which sounds OK. (But obviously this would be on top of the ping to the multiplayer host, if you're playing online.)



Also, this would be input latency, which is much more significant of a drawback than normal in-game network latency.


According to that site, I can't get less than 44ms with Amazon where I live...

This site has a much larger number of providers:

But of course most of them don't offer GPU servers.


nice website! thanks :)


Well, for multiplayer, at least the EC2 machine would have a reasonable ping with the other players, it would just be display/input latency.
