So I recently bought a Tesla K80 for $130 on eBay and I'm going to try to get it to game or at the very least run PhysX in conjunction with my gtx1070, Quadro 2000, or with NVIDIA Optimus with the RX5708gb, or iGPU (whichever isn't impossible). Anthony made a mining card work in "Nvidia Said We Couldn't Game On This Crypto Mining Card..."). I figured unlocking ( / hacking into) the potential of a 4992 CUDA core GPU with 24gbs of GDDR5 vram would be worthwhile if it can be done. I know the obvious stuff, no display i/o, this is not a gaming card, there's no gameready driver, ya da ya da, no cooling, can't install drivers for GeForce and Tesla on one machine, ya da ya da. However, I'm determined to do whatever it takes to get this card playing any game, or maybe just crisis. I've search fairly extensively and it seems there's people who've had some success, but no nice tutorial or instructions. This guy claimed to have his k80 running physX with 2 gtx 980s in SLI. These guys claim a tesla p40 can run Ryse Sons of Rome at 8k. The CraftComputers guy made a server with a tesla k10 to run 4 instances of games as a server. My parts are arriving at the end of the week, but I'd like to be ready when they arrive. Parts at my disposal: b250 ATX /w i5-7200 b150 mATX /w i7-7700k x79 /w Xeon e5-1620 Quadro 2000, RX 570, GTX 1070 3 power supplies at 650, 710, and 750 all the ram you could possible want and a few m.2 nvme SSDs. custom cooler for passively cooled gpu Any ideas about how this could be done are welcome. It would be great if there were some instructions on how to do something similar. Of course, I fully expect people to tell me this is impossible and all the reasons why I'm an idiot, that's fine too. I'm doing this out of boredom and frustration with the current state of the gpu market.

Hello LTT community, As sort of a fun project or idea, could I use a Raspberry Pi as sort of a power switch pass through with a delay timer. The reason for this would be to allow for a phase change cooling unit to warm up and start before turning a PC on. I already know how to use an RPi as an HVAC system controller with an info display output, so my question would be as how to program or setup the GPIO hardware in order to pass through a power on/off signal, with a ~ 4 minute delay on the startup of the PC. I know this isn't really a practical (or cheap) solution, so DO NOT start ranting about it before considering it's just a fun idea. And, yes, I do know how to design and build the mechanical aspects of a phase change cooling system, because I'm into mechanical engineering. (The idea is kind of like trying to build an LD PC-V2 for cheaper, so yeah.) Thanks, DAGGER51

I'm doing a setup expansion with a dedicated simrig for simdrifting I just build a dedicated simrig with 3 monitors, I already have 4 monitors in my setup without these 3, so i need a second GPU to power those 3. I don't have the money to buy another 1070 or better, so got a R7 250X (I had laying around) put that in my system, connect the 3 monitors, put them in eyefinity (this all works like a charm) now here is where I need help, I came up with the idea when I watched this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TY4s35uULg4& so I want my 1070 to do the rendering and let my R7 250X display what my 1070 rendert, I expect some performance loss offcourse. but I have no idea how to do this properly.

So I just got an Ubuntu VM running in FreeNAS and I know you can pass a NIC or drives to the VM. Now lets say I want to have a gpu on the VM for some better number crunching power. If i just slapped the gpu in the system then edit the vm and add the gpu as a device would it work or would freenas not even see it as a device to pass to the vm? Any and all help is much appreciated

This might be a stupid question, but I couldn't find any helpful answers elsewhere: I've got a Dell XPS 15 (9570) and want to connect it to 4 external monitors (internal monitor won't be needed) - which isn't possible. Now I had the idea of buying an eGPU-Case and sticking a cheap card in it, that supports 4 monitors (most likely an old Quadro). I don't want to spend too much money and the processing power of my internal 1050ti is sufficient for me currently. Would I be able to run everything (games, video encoding/decoding) from my 1050ti and just output what is being rendered through a seperate, external card? I'm pretty shure, that's how it works in tandem with the Intel UHD graphics, so this should be possible, right? If so, how much does it impact performance?

Hi i wase and to know if my hdmi port on my monitor (benq/zowie xl2411z) it is pass through. The reason that i want to know its because i want to do like linus did in a video that he used the hdmi port of his monitor to pass the image to the laptop. And its what i want to do to do livestream and make my laptop link a streaming pc.

I need thoughts and critiques of my OS choices and storage build design. I have a new build that I have almost entirely ordered but are awaiting on delivery. CPU: Intel Core i7-6850K 3.6GHz 6-Core Processor CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-D15 82.5 CFM CPU Cooler Motherboard: Asus X99-DELUXE II ATX LGA2011-3 Motherboard Memory: Corsair Vengeance LPX 64GB (8 x 8GB) DDR4-2400 Memory Storage: Samsung 850 EVO-Series 500GB 2.5" Solid State Drive Storage: Samsung 950 PRO 512GB M.2-2280 Solid State Drive Storage: Western Digital Red 4TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive Have Storage: Western Digital Red 6TB 3.5" 5400RPM Internal Hard Drive New Storage: Seagate Archive 8TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive New Storage: Seagate Archive 8TB 3.5" 5900RPM Internal Hard Drive New Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Have Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Have Storage: Western Digital BLACK SERIES 3TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive Have Video Card: NVIDIA Quadro K4000 3GB Video Card Have Video Card: Older AMD, going to be upgrading to a RX480 or one of the 1080/1070s but not sure yet Case: Fractal Design Define R5 (Black) ATX Mid Tower Case Power Supply: Corsair RMx 1000W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply Optical Drive: Pioneer BDR-2209 Blu-Ray/DVD/CD Writer Monitor: HP 27vx 27.0" 60Hz Monitor I have more hard drives then that but do not fit in the R5. I need some help from the community on their thoughts of what I should run for the OS(s). My largest reason for this build is to have a NAS on my Gigabit network at home. I have a PoE switch that when I move to my new home will be used for IP cameras. I want to use my rig to act as a storage server for them and have a offsite backup for the surveillance.(August 2017). I used to do a lot of photo and video editing, which is why I have so many hard drives, but my old Dell XPS system gave up the ghost and with this rig I can go back to it. I want to also be able to run a media server in the house for Plex or something. I have the apps on my phones but no server lol. I want to be able to have the kids access VMs to use it resources. I have an XBOX one but would really come back to the world of PC Gaming and get a VR setup (at new house for the space August 2017) and Dolby ATMOS. I currently have about 20HHDs (from 500GB to 8TB) that I want to consolidate and protect their data and 2 Dual drive docking stations, 1 Mediasonic? 4 bay 3.5in bay 1 Two drive Lacie raid drive (only has 2 1tb in it right now) 3 Seagate external drive enclosures 8 WD extnernal drive enclosures I have thought of using a smaller hp AMD A10-5700 with freeNAS and moving the uATX board into a older Antec 1080plus full tower and using a 3ware 9650SE raid card in IT mode but I was doing some research on the motherboard and the Atheros onboard NIC is not supported by BSD so I would need a gigabit NIC for that. So that is my deterrent from using a second machine even though I can but I really want to take advantage of the horsepower out of this new rig. So I was thinking Unraid which is not a problem paying for especially since they are doing all the work I don't have time for setting up the kernel and getting the right packages installed. I have a CentOS build at work which is fine for an OS but I am not sure about spending all the time and hassle to set up the intricacies. One thing I can do besides the Unraid is set up VMware but am a bit confused on the licensing of the free ESXi hyper-visor. I use Vsphere and Vcenter at work so I am familiar with the interfaces here but I don't do the onboarding for the servers (we have the enterprise license so virtually everything they have) so I am not sure about licensing for the free hyper-visor. I know I can pass though the GPUs to the VM and that is fine but doing it remotely is best done with horizon with view as it allows the work to be done directly. One of the things that I don't know about and am concerned about is wanting to do a RAID 1 on the 2 Seagate Archive drive and if you can do that within Unraid(not as a parity since it is slow) or do it as a software RAID within the ASUS MB or do it on the 3ware 9650-8i card. That is where I want to store all my photos and videos.(besides keeping a copy of the them on the older smaller WD external drives). My biggest concern on this is compatibility and whether or not it will work with each setup. Once the data gets on there I wont be changing it much. So write speed is not that important. Also for workflow I can copy the files I want to work off into a RAM drive or the 950pro. Another issue is the 950pro. I want it to be my primary "machines" drive for Windows 10. I have some stuff but nothing solid or concrete if there is a way to pass through a single drive in Unraid. I bought the 850evo for use as a cache disk. Also my plans before I thought about using Unraid was to buy 4 WD Red 6TB drives and do a RAID 5 thought the ASUS board. So I bought one that I can use for the parity drive and if later I will buy the others for what ever I end of going with. For that setup it would have been OS drive: 950pro 512GB RAID5 Array: 4*6TB WD Red for an array of about 20TB for ebooks movies music etc RAID1 Array: 2*8TB Seagate for an array of 8TB for Video and Photo storage Future Array: 2-3*6-8TB WD Purple for Surveillance system. (this would need probably an external enclosure and LSI RAID card ( I don't want to rely on my 3ware card) to run since my ASUS board only has 10(8+2) SATA Connectors and 4 of them cant be used for RAID and 3 U2/M.2 connections. The R5 case can hold 8 *3.5inch drives and 2*SSDs and will have one open 5.25" by I can use.) Now I'm thinking if I do Unraid USB drive: for unraid Cache drive: 850EVO 500gb Parity drive: WD 6TB Red Data drives: 3*WD 6TB Red, 1*WD 4TB Red, 2*WD 3TB Black Somehow a raid array of 2 Seagate 8TB Archive (also I could do one in this case and one in another case that runs rsync or something. ) OK Sorry about the jumping and incongruity my ADD is taking over. Please let me know your thoughts and what you think. Thank you very much!!

Please advise. I am a noob with what I though was a nice setup until I moved my Xbox One console in with my computer. I was "advised" to move my console out of the living room, and thus moved it in with my desktop PC. I have all the important specs listed at the bottom, as well as a picture of my setup. I connected the HDMI cable from the Xbox to the empty port at the back of my monitor and thought that was a simple fix. The Xbox One sounds were played through the monitor, which doesn't quite have the bass I like (or any bass for that matter). I currently have desktop 2.1 speakers connected to the audio output of my motherboard (that green AUX port). When playing games on the Xbox, the background static sound is atrocious if I plug in the speakers to the headphone output of the monitor. Getting both video from both sources is simple enough; but what's a good way to use the speakers for both my PC and console? I considered getting an AV Reciever (the one I was looking at on Amazon was a Sony STRD550), but I can't seem to find one with an AUX in and AUX out. I would like to take an AUX cable from the back of my computer to an audio input of a receiver, then output any audio from that device (whether its from the Xbox One HDMI or the PC AUX) to the Altec Lansing desktop speakers. I also thought about pass-through options through either the Xbox One or the PC. Taking the PC through the console still would have to use the speakers hooked up to the monitor output, and I'm not sure how to set up passing the console through my PC. I'm also open to buying connectors/converters, but I just don't want to distort the sound too much. I'm not really an audiophile, but I don't want to hear static. My desktop speakers are quite good when through the audio port from the back of the motherboard, so that's my baseline of "good". So all I really need is an audio pass-through, which would be a lot simper if there was a way to split the sound and video from the Xbox One HDMI output. What I said I considered up above are just things I have in mind, and I'm open to any thoughts that you may have. My recently-upgraded PC is quite powerful and I'm considering upgrading to a 4k monitor when I have more money; so a solution with 4k capabilities isn't necessarily a requirement, but would definitely be preferred. My max budget is $300 with maybe some wiggle-room, but please keep that in mind.

I want to control the music I am listening to on my phone but I have so cable problems. Is there any chance to pass the audio signal from my phone to my PC which is already hooked up to my amp. Motherboard is MSI GD65. Amp is hooked via optical Phone obviously uses an 2,5 Audio Jack. Tell me if you need any more info.
