Old GPUs vs New GPUs fight

I am for the GPU render-farm, too.

Hi guys,

what would you think about us having an online service where you pay,
like an online rendering farm, but it has machines available that have high-end cards,
like 3GB or 6GB tesla hardware.

Like that, you can create/tune your scene on your desktop with your consumer card,
and if you need to render to 8000x8000 printsizes,
you submit the job and 10 minutes later you receive the poster size render in your mail or something?

would that be interesting to the people who have been talking about requirements for large resolution ?

E-mail or ftp. I like that better than a cloud approach. I'd feel more secure. I vote for this kind of render farm. It would keep my equipment needs down to a new card to make sure everything was setup properly.
