Tesla for gaming

[potatoproduction]

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

[MatthewEnderle]

You can, but the cost to get a better experience is not even worth it.

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.

The Tesla cards aren't GPUs, they can't drive displays.

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

How could you , everyone else is saying it has no display outports

What does AFAIK mean sorry just never heard it before

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

As far as I know

None of the current gen cards have any

 

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