Review of Nvidia A100 PCI-E Passive, 40GB from a gamer's perspective?

[Elijah Kamski]

Can the LTT guys do a gaming review of this GPU? XD

I know it's not meant for gaming, but how good can it game? XD

It's probs a no most likely, but it would be a fun video idea for you guys to try and get some workbench gpus to see which one can game the best, focused heavily on gamers who are on a tight budget, because of course, the gpu shortage has made normal gpus extremely expensive, and some of these gpus are pretty cheap

It seems like some madman actually decided to run userbenchmark on their server computer. Anyhow, it is a passive gpu, it's probably meant for external cooling solutions like in a farm and to be jam packed with MANY of these. It's use is mostly for rendering due to the high amount of vram, and is slower I'd assume to not produce as much heat

The main reason I was asking for the review in terms of gaming was specifically because of the passive cooling XD

Ha ha ha ha! XD

Palit already made a passive 1050ti, of which we know the a100 is near a base 1050 in performance. I'd expect it to perform very similarly to that card, that is all
