Out of these three, only P40 is worth the effort to get running vs the capabilities they offer. That's also before considering that other than software hacks or configuration tweaks, those cards require specialised cooling shrouds for adequate cooling in tower-style cases.
If your time or personal energy is worth >$0, these cards work out to much more than $100. And you can't even file the time burnt on getting them to run as any kind of transferable experience.
That's not to say I don't recommend getting them - I have a P4 family card and will get at least one more, but I'm not kidding myself that the use isn't very limited.
- icelancer 3y agoThe K80 is literally worth < $0 given how ridiculous it is to configure and use. P40s are definitely the best value along with P100s. I still think there is a good amount of value to be extracted from both of those cards, especially if you are interested in using Whisper ASR, video transcoding, or CUDA models that were relevant before LLMs (a time many people have forgotten apparently).
