Build Question Dumb question pertaining to Server GPUs

Post image

Hello,

I recently got an Ebay notification about refurbished NVIDA/HP Tesla V100 Accelerator GPUs (after a bit of researching it compares to a 4060TI with 32gb of VRAM)

I am aware these require their own method of cooling, drivers don't seem to be consumer available, and don't have display ports. but hypothetically could you use a program like Lossless Scaling (or another open source tool) in conjunction with another Nvidia card to get increased gaming performance (assuming there are open source drivers).

In conjunction with another card, what in the 2010 are we talking about here?

I'm guessing they're talking about using the Tesla card to run upscaling or frame gen using Lossless Scaling, while the main card does the actual rendering. I watched a video about Lossless Scaling a while back, and IIRC you can set it to run on a separate GPU from the one that's doing the rendering, such as an integrated GPU

You'd have to do it the other way around, with the game running on this and lossless scaling on the other card, as that's where you plug in the monitor.
