I feel like there's a few more cost effective options than getting a $1000 card every few years lol.

Geforce now probably isn't it, but titans are overkill (unless you're also using them for work.)

Titan != Ti. RTX 2080Ti is ~$1200 vs $2500 for the Titan RTX. One is aimed at gamers with too much money the other is geared towards serious professionals with too much money.

I swear that said titans before. Or I'm losing it. (Probably the second)

Either way there are certainly options other than nvidia's most expensive consumer end card.

No worries I got you point I was just being a bit nitpicky. It's true there are cheaper cards but I do like maxing out those settings. To me the main potential draw of a service like stadia or geforce now would be max current possible graphics without max graphics card purchase. Based on what is actually being delivered I am very likely not the target audience. Perhaps it's geared more for people who are deciding between a $400-$500 console or mid-range graphics card outlay or a $5/mo service.
