They do not have display outputs, but, at least with my 4090, if I plug the monitor into the iGPU instead, Windows still renders frames on it and just pushes them to the GPU that has a monitor attached.
So the lack of output ports of those DC GPUs might not prevent that?
Or maybe there are other limitations there I am not aware of, of course. Maybe the silicon cannot do the stuff needed for games or something like that.
Yeah, probably that. But something like the L40 - which is just a 4090 with more VRAM - might be usable like that?
Maybe?
You SV guys go use your stock options and try it out for science.

I actually think one might?
