I’ve seen it covered widely for Windows, but I don’t know if people have gotten it working on Linux.
I’ve been thinking about buying an nVidia Tesla p40 off of eBay for a GPU upgrade. Currently I’m running a Quadro M2000 in my Dell Precision T7910 with dual Xeon E5-2620 v3 processors. Obviously, I’ll have to work out how to cool it but apparently people have had success with GTX 1080 coolers for dead graphics cards.
I’ll need to keep the Quadro for video output since the Xeons have no integrated graphics. I’m hoping it would behave like an Optimus laptop, so I don’t have flickering in Xwayland (in preparation for Fedora 40, plus I prefer Wayland anyway).
If anyone has attempted this maybe with another Tesla card I’d like to know how it went.
So these cards have only heatsinks and no fans. They’re designed to be used in hot/cold aisle facilities with the server cooling package moving the air. You’re going to need to work around that if you want to use one, or you’ll quickly overheat the card.
Yeah I did do a bit of research, apparently it can work with a GTX 1080 cooler, otherwise there are lots of 3D printable adapters
