You used to be able to BIOS flash workstation GPUs to make them somewhat usable for gaming… not sure how far these AI GPUs have diverged from gaming cards these days and if a BIOS flash could make them playable.
AI GPUs have specialized very heavily for neural networks, including things like going down to 8- or 4-bit floats in favor of more parallelization. Most of that hardware is just useless for graphics tasks at this point.
hardware that people cant USE, they are solely used for AI in those datacenters, its just going to be e-waste.

They don’t even have headers for soldering a display output to them. They’re purely a compute card.
It’d work nicely as a pure accelerator for an actual GPU though, with the right firmware.
Almost back to the 3DFX pass-through days again… 😁
