  1. Hi, Here's your 1 ct - we were generous and rounded up 😉 And yes, the game is worth it, especially so with friends. When we have "won" the game - as in having built a dastardly automated zombie processing plant for horde night, we just start over for the survival thrill of the early game again. push2drop
  2. Once again, Tesla cards are compute only. So if you want to get your Blender models render faster, they can do that (as Blender uses CUDA to access them). Or if you have other compute tasks as pointed out here https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/12-things-tesla-accelerated-computing-platform/ That is also why your K80 is in the driver inf files... CUDA uses the driver to access the hardware. But I would be most astonished if that driver lets you use a Tesla for Direct3D or OpenGL rendering. Unless you hack it, of course - not sure if the Pro drivers have the same protection in place as the gaming ones. push2drop
  3. Many people have tried to get the now quite cheap Tesla K series cards to run 3d - I haven't heard of anybody succeeding. The closest to success was somebody doing some reflow soldering to change one resistor to make a K10 (compute only) into an otherwise identical Grid K2 (may actually do 3d, albeit only for virtualisation workloads) and then managed to get it to run in some ancient version of Citrix Xenserver (before NVidia and Citrix started to charge extra for that kind of GPU virtualisation) - and that would have meant running Win7 guests... Unfortunately the K80 has no identical Grid Version... and even then it's not like you can run a Tesla Grid card with a normal game ready driver under Win10. As for your claim that the 378.78 game ready driver supports the K80 - I believe it, when I see it. Actually the Quadro 4000 is also not listed as supported for that driver, but since it is not a "compute only card" and the consumer variants with the same chip are supported, it might still work... push2drop
  4. Hi, if you want the easy way to plug it in and start windows, the answer is no - NVidia provides no drivers to run this as a GPU - only compute workloads. As for performance, the GK210 is basically double the GK110B of the original Titan Z or 780 Ti - just with more memory (24GB vs 6GB or 3GB and a bit higher boost clock). Even with only one of the two GPUs used it would run circles around the GF100 in your Quadro 4000 - if you had a driver to run 3D workloads on it. push2drop
  5. Hi, the "correct" way to do this would be to run it on a server OS with hypervisor and then assign the two GPUs on the K80 to a number of VMs. See the following link for hints... Whether that will work for gaming remains to be seen... and of course you would only game via a VM console viewer program... https://arrayfire.com/using-gpus-kvm-virutal-machines/ Another way would be to use a hacked gpu bios and/or driver to get make the card work for the 3d stuff and route the output through the on-chip gpu of your i5 or i7... like in that LTT video... but that probably only happens if some chinese hardware refurbisher has a few thousand last gen mining cards at hand... and in the current situation, not at all... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY4s35uULg4 push2drop
