Doesn't Nvidia's new eula make that Difficult. Anything requiring more than a handful of gpus would be classified as a data center deployment. Which is against the eula.
IANAL though so I might have interpreted this incorrectly.

- amelius 9y agoI'm not getting it. Do they want to sell a product or a service? And instead of restricting our rights, shouldn't we get a discount when buying multiple GPU cards?
- jdietrich 9y agoI doubt that any court would consider a half-rack in someone's closet to be a "datacenter", nor would I expect Nvidia to enforce that EULA term against a hobbyist.
- cobookman 9y agoBut if that hobbyist ends up creating a billion dollar business, that's leverage Nvidia has for a lawsuit. Similar strategy of Adobe won't sue a single user for pirating Photoshop, but the second they have a successful business...that's a different story.
- vlod 9y ago> ends up creating a billion dollar business, > that's leverage Nvidia has for a lawsuit. A great problem to have. Maybe first concentrate on creating a billion dollar business and by that time you can afford to get some 'approved' cards.. ;)
- nl 9y agoThey (NVidia) don't have any recompense beyond withdrawing support. The ELUA is on the (free) drivers, so a court would find no monetary damages. (IANAL etc)
