That would be difficult considering they don't have any ports for displays on them.

 

Unless you mean GeForce 200 series cards (Tesla architecture), then sure.

Saw somthing simmilar from amd called onboard gpu booster

How it works if it works at all...

Hmm. No display ports lol

They're for computation acceleration, not for image rendering like a graphics card is.

Somone is selling those as regular gpus lol wtf

There just normal gpus. There is nothing to keep you from playing games and using something like Optimus to put the put on the screen. The big reason not to is they normally cost 5x of a geoforce and won't be any faster in a game.

you need to make the distinction between a GPU and a video card

 

a GPU is, as per definition: a single chip processor with integrated transform, lighting, triangle setup/clipping, and rendering engines that is capable of processing a minimum of 10 million polygons per second

this is a GPU:

 

and this is a video cad:

 

 

"technically" (not really) those are GPUs, practically they are compute accelerators; what they are not, they are not video cards

Quadros can be used like a normal graphics card, but Teslas are really not supposed to be used for rendering images to the screen. In fact older Tesla drivers disabled display output for any NVIDIA cards in the system and if you wanted display output you needed a non-NVIDIA GPU for output.

 

Maybe it's possible to use a Tesla through VirtuMVP or something like that but it's certainly not going to be a plug-and-play experience.
