someone with way too much money and time, could someone run the datacenter-grade GPUs on a regular computer
say, a H100 from nvidia

@agatha should be possible, I've seen youtubers do it, though there's usually some slight firmware changes needed and they might not have display connectors (piping video through the IGPU should work tho)

@agatha the way to go is obvs to set it as your dedicated PhysX card

@noiob give they are only for computations it makes sense to not have video output, but it's funny to imagine

@agatha there's a LTT video where they fuck around with an A100 but they don't get it to run games youtube.com/watch?v=zBAxiQi2nP

there's an earlier version where they do get a mining card without a display connector which does work with some hacky trickery youtube.com/watch?v=TY4s35uULg

@agatha at least the second one has Emily in it :)
