Is there still some licences meddling with the use of gaming cards for deep learning?
- SloopJon 6y agoFrom the GeForce software license: "The SOFTWARE is not licensed for datacenter deployment, except that blockchain processing in a datacenter is permitted." https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/geforce-license/ https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/drivers/geforce-license/ This doesn't preclude use in a workstation, but they don't want you building a DGX A100 competitor using RTX 3080 or 3090 cards.
- NwtnsMthd 6y agoAs far as I understand it, you cannot re-sell (rent) processing time on a gaming card from Nvidia for machine learning tasks. This is why you don't see Google and Amazon offering virtual machines with gaming cards. However if you're the end user, you can do whatever you want with the gaming card you bought (not that Nvidia can enforce this).
