What about a NVIDIA Tesla which seems to be made for this kind of thing?
- wtallis 12y agoTesla and GeForce products are made from the same chips. The GeForce products have several features turned off, and are then sold for a fraction of the price and often with more aggressive clock speeds. For any given workload, you have to assess whether you need the extra reliability of the Tesla products and whether the features disabled in the GeForce matter to the problem at hand. For many uses, the high-end consumer parts come out way ahead in this comparison; the Tesla parts are never an automatic win.
