    Dumpster diving anyone? We should go work at one when they go under and go by our cars on way to dumpster.

  Let’s say we get access to those. What can a regular person do with them? Can we use it as a daily driver computer? Or are we talking about GPUs on the cheap?

    And hard drives! They might be SAS or some stuff though, cards are a bit expensive for SAS drives, ask le and my cheap 3TB drive how we know…

    For the H100 and up? They’re headless, basically compute only, as they don’t have enough ROPs to game.

    I think the A100 technically can game, in the same way you’d use a laptop GPU not hooked up to the display. They’re kinda like giant RTX 3090/ though, so YMMV.

    They’re great at GPU compute apps though, same as any Nvidia card would be.
