I was told this at amazon cloud
Quote: "It depends a lot on your game, naturally, and it depends on the quality of the network between us if you can push the full framerate, but what you're asking for is possible. Look into our G2 and older CG1-type instances. These have the video hardware, CPU, and network capabilities you're looking for."
They gave a link to G2 instances

To compare the g1 and g2 I found this info.
Quote: "GPU Instances
This family includes G2 and CG1 instance types, which provide you with Intel Xeon processors and high-performance NVIDIA GPUs intended for graphics and general purpose GPU compute applications. Currently, there are two types of GPU instances. G2 instances provide access to NVIDIA GRID GPUs (“Kepler” GK104) each with 1,536 CUDA cores and 4GB of video memory. This GPU also features an on-board hardware video encoder designed to support up to eight real-time HD video streams (720p@30fps) or up to four real-time FHD video streams (1080p at 30 fps). The initial driver release provides support for OpenGL 4.3, DirectX 9, 10, and 11, CUDA 5.5, OpenCL 1.1, and GRID SDK. The GRID SDK provides low-level access to the capture and encoding capabilities of GRID GPUs. Combined with the hardware resources of G2 instances, the GRID SDK enables low-latency frame capture and encoding for either the full operating system or select render targets, enabling high-quality interactive streaming experiences.
CG1 instances provide access to NVIDIA Tesla M2050 GPUs (“Fermi” GF100) each with 448 CUDA cores and 3GB of video memory. The latest driver release provides support for CUDA 5.5, OpenCL 1.1, and DirectCompute. The NVIDIA GPU Computing SDK provides hundreds of code samples and white papers to help you get started writing software with CUDA or DirectCompute, allowing you to take advantage of the parallel performance of NVIDIA GPUs.
You can be up and running with Amazon EC2 GPU instances in minutes by leveraging our GPU Amazon Machine Images found in the AWS Marketplace. For immediate access to 3D graphics streaming capabilities, the AWS Marketplace also provides offerings that integrate the NVIDIA GRID SDK and G2 instances.
G2 popular use cases: Game streaming, 3D application streaming, and other server-side graphics workloads.
CG1 popular use cases: Computational chemistry, rendering, financial modeling, and engineering design."
It also shows tables of comparison

It goes a bit above my head, can anyone recommend the right instance? I want to run the game, but I dont want over kill on the computer specs because you run up costs and also someone thats that computer power is having it wasted if you dont need that high specs.
