So we’ve been waiting for this… Yesterday I watched Tech Yes City’s vid in Akihabara where he says that the shop folks tell him the miner dumps are here.

Now I’m seeing K80’s and K40’s on Ebay for $80. This would make a workstation beast. It’s a dual die card from 28nm era with 2x 12GB GDDR5 and 2x 4 TFLOPs. K80 on Ebay

Clearly coming from scalers but maybe they are scared.

If you go ahead and get a server GPU like that like I likely will then go ahead and forward the frames over PCIe. https://linustechtips.com/topic/1340083-guide-using-an-nvidia-tesla-k80-for-gaming-on-windows/

Edit: oops I didn’t give the seemingly good K80 link

    Great Video! I just bought a K40 because of your prior video and I was wondering so bad if a K80 would work in a similar way. There’s only one thing I have to correct you on: you can actually use a dGPU instead of the integrated graphics. I’m running mine through a 960, because I don’t have an iGPU and it works just fine. You have to change the value for EnableMsHybrid to 2 on the dGPU to make it work.

    Are you able to confirm if this works in any variety of Linux? I just might make my next streaming/rendering PC with an old Xeon v4 and one of these! I just don’t run Windows.
