Nvidia's K80 HPC with Two Titan XP? Does it even make sense??

[Dpoet]

_{^{So I'm planning to buy NVIDIA TESLA K80 HPC for no reason at all this coming new year (Idk, maybe because of 24GB VRAM, 3Teraflops, 5K CUDA cores, AI deep learning, meh >.<) I just want to spend some bucks on my my rig so I just wanted to know if its all wortht it?? I mean what does K80 do with gaming? Can it even help my Two titan XPs in producing much nicer textures, graphics, etc (OR produce twice as may bots in CS:GO)??? Idk. Maybe you Guys can help. I'm new here (blame Linus) So yeah! Lecture me! teach me! and I'm willing to be taught!! Yeah Thanks!}}

I know man, BUT DREAMBOY here wants to make his PC as beefy as possible.. Moneys not an issue here. SOOooo....can you help me?? Do you even know?? 

 

Can someone pls. :'(

This is based on GP100, therefore it is not meant for gaming.

It is oriented towards deep learning, compute stuff etc.

Doesn't mean it won't game. Just look at the Quadro review. 

The AMD Vega cards may be pretty fast.. we don't know yet

I know i know... Obviously you're not the first guy who told me that.. BUT MY QUESTION IS: DOES IT WORK?? CAN THEY WORK TOGETHER?? I mean.. CAN IT BENEFIT MY TOTAL (OR LESS) GAMING EXPERIENCE???? THANK YOU (BOW)

Quadro was based on GM100, the exact same chip as the Titan X (Maxwell)

The Titan X (Pascal) is based on GP102, which is the GP100 but with better single precision performance and no HBM support.

Single precision is important for gaming whereas double precision doesn't matter for gaming

No. It will not as it can't work at the same time with the Titan Xs

They won't work together. Not unless you want the world's most expensive PhysX card.

Oh really?? What is PhysX card btw and why would I want one?? How can it help my problem?? Thanks bro.

It won't. But it's the only way to use unlike cards. Just hands some of the physics to the second card if the game supports it.

 

Drivers are more important than cores, stick with the Titans.

aHAHA. Done doing a lot of readings/research..Now I solved my problem.. May seem pointless or waste to most of you, But I don't care!! Probably My K80 will have use for future time.. But now, He'll sit between my two babies (TITAN XPs) and work as a PhysX card. Can't wait to buy Later!! TY Bro!!

"Tesla/Quadro Professional Graphics

Technically, GPU PhysX is supported by CUDA-capable Tesla/Quadro graphics cards, however one will have to use the WDDM GeForce driver, not the TCC (Tesla Compute Cluster) driver, to get the GPU physics acceleration."

I thought that you meant if it would work with the Titan Xs in SLI...

PS, Congratulations for having the world's most expensive PhysX card

Lets step back a second here and think real world performance gains. There really wont be any. You wont notice a single thing from the K80 so basically youre buying a very expensive paperweight..
