Custom Nvidia Grid Possibly?

[StackUnderflow]

Hi,

 

I want to setup a personal onlive/Nvidia GeForce Grid thing. I know you can do this via EC2/Azure with the newest Tesla M6 and M60, but I want to own the hardware and do it in my own house. It'd be also great if this system can pull double duty and be a GPU accelerator for me to screw around with Tensor Flow. I already have a 16c/32th Xeon platform with 64GB RAM and a NVMe boot drive. A pfSense VPN server, and a gigabit uplink (dorm internet is the best).

 

There are some really ridiculously cheap old Teslas on ebay, a M2050 will typically go for $50 and a M2070 will go for $80. Will I be able to use steam home streaming on a Windows VM with the graphics passed through to it to play games? If not, another option is to rip a GTX 980 off my current gaming rig and put that in the server. I don't know how badly that would impact power consumption though (the system is on 24/7) and if I recall correctly, the 980 only has 100 GFLOPs while the M2050 has 500 GFLOPs double precision. Beyond that, any other recommendations (preferably on the cheap, $~10-100)? 

 

Thanks

Just buy a Steam Link and use steam in home streaming.No need for something so complex for home use

I'm not worried about the client, pondering the server setup. I'm planning on using steam streaming on a windows VM with a video card passed through.

 

The main question is will the Tesla M2050 work as a game streaming card...
