So this product is a Tesla card and has been confirmed to be able to have a hacked BIOS and solder on a display port.

 

I have a GPU in my system already, can I still use it as my primary card and output on another display without hacking and soldering?

The hacked BIOS enables it as a Quadro FX 5800, which indeed has shit performance, but it's better than a GT 710.

To do what, install Geforce drivers? That still won't give it good performance even if you manage to install them.

Tesla cards have no video output. Also, it has a passive heatsink needing chassis fans to keep it cool.

 

People hack the BIOS to make them VMWare compliant mostly... not to use them in a desktop.

I have a ton of chassis fans. Like two up front, two up top, and two in the back.

That won't do. It needs ducted air from server-class fans.

 

Totally different class of cooling.

Tesla Cards are meant for applications that require extreme precision computing (64bit Floating Point Computations) on a parallel workload. They are not made for anything else. Even if you did get it to work, you're looking a GPU thats several generations old and would not be able to push frames the way you're expecting. Many people see the cards and think that because it's more expensive, it must be better! 

For example, I got my FirePros for CAD and Rendering because those types of programs can use its full abilities. But, for the price, I could have gotten 4 GTX1080tis for gaming, Every product has it's use case. I'm sorry, but what you're doing is not worth the price of admission. 

I spend most of my time on Autodesk and Caffe. CAD is great, as long as you know what you're doing.

 

Watson: Ryzen 7 1800X, 32GB 3000Mhz Dominator Platinum, X370 MSI Pro Carbon, 2x FirePro W9100s, 2x 256GB Samsung 850EVO SSDs, 2x 6TB WD Raid 1 HDDs, Ghetto Custom Cooling and Case, Logitech G910 and G502, 3DConnection SpacePilot Pro, 6x 27" Viewsonic FHD Monitors, 2x 24" Acer FHD Monitors, Windows 10 Pro/Ubuntu 16.04 Dual.

 

Yes, you can game on FirePro Cards, it's just overkill if you never use it's full abilities. 

 

Sherlock: 128 Core Render Server (32 Nodes, Matched Core 2 Quads, 8GB DDR2) running HPC Service Pack 1 on Windows Server 2016. Just because, you know, who doesn't want to render in real time? (Plus I don't pay the power bill)
