Could you use the Nvidia tesla for gaming or does have the same or different problem as the Quadro ? It would be interesting if you could leverage all that power

I suppose you could, but it's pretty pointless and you'd be spending like x5 the amount of money for the same performance as a Titan. These are mainly used for intense CGI and animation environments, not for the average, everyday consumer.

A Tesla has no video outputs, so no. I don't think there's any place where it could be used as something other than a card only for compute power

 

Here's how Nvidia's product branding goes:

 

GeForce: Primarily gaming, can be used for rendering although support for high end rendering isn't really there

Quadro: Mainly for rendering or something like CAD, comes with support specifically for rendering and the likes. Could be used for light gaming, although again, support isn't really there for it

Tesla: Compute power only AFAIK

Disclaimer: all information is off the top of my head, so take it with a grain of salt - I'll be happy to correct any errors I've made

Specs: CPU: AMD FX 6300 Motherboard: Gigabyte 970A DS3P RAM: HyperX Fury 16GB 1866MHz GPU: MSI R9 270 OC edition Case: Sharkoon VS3-S SSD: Samsung 840 EVO 120GB HDD: 1TB Caviar Blue PSU: Corsair CX500W

*If I say something that seems offensive, please don't take it seriously, it was most likely meant as a joke/sarcastically*

All the ones i'm finding have a single DVI port on the back. It's possible.

None of the current gen cards have any

 

You're probably looking at the Fermi GPUs, which are 6 years old
