Hi all,
I've recently found out that NVidia made the above products which are essentially GPU's but without any video output capabilities...they were designed for floating point and high end image manipulation.
Here's one:

These seem to be CUDA-compatible, in which case, are they any good for BOINC GPU projects ?
(And I do know that these are "old" and not as good as Fermi, Kepler and Maxwell chipsets).
regards
Tim

Hi Tim,
From what I can see, they're somewhere between a GTX260 and a GTX275 in performance but use more power. You'd be better off with this http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sparkle-NVIDI ... Sw-itXsNHG

Thanks for the input on this.
I've now done a bit of "digging" around and can see that these are pretty inefficient compared to newer devices.
What surprised me most was that they even existed in the first place...as I knew about the "graphics cards" versions, but not these "computation" type devices.
It's got me wondering about whether NVidia carried on the practice (with later chipsets) and maybe if there will be new "domestic" versions based on the 1060/1070/1080 cards recently launched.

Tim
