Can I use A Tesla M2070 in a PC

[Dino_2]

Hi,
I have a NVidea Tesla M2070, I was wondering if I could use it in a PC, or if it is just hopeless.

Thanks.

Can you? Sure, it's just like a regular GPU.

Will it run games well ? Not really

Will you need an external fan? Absolutely, it doesn't come with a fan but does need one

It has no outputs, how would I use it? Should I just sell it and get another, better GPU for gaming?

You would need something like Virtu to use it for games, and even then it's pretty iffy. The Tesla line is meant for GPGPU, don't try using it for anything else. You can get a EVGA GTX950 for $110 right now, so much as well get that instead.

So just sell it on reddit or something?

If there's a local university, ask some engineering students (especially fluid/plasma/robotics), they might be interested in taking it off your hands in exchange for a 750ti/950

They have relitibvley low retail prices, d'you think I could get something better? Or is it hopeless?

The Tesla M line is Fermi, which means >5 years old now. You would be lucky to get a 950, even used, for a trade

So just try and get a 750Ti or something.

And should I use a online auction site, as I am 14 and I can't really walk into a uni asking people if they wanna swap GPUs.

How does a 14 year old come into possession of a Tesla M2070?

I build PCs. I am upgrading a rig for my brother, and my uncle gave me this a while ago. I am trying to source some better GPUs for gaming for him.

Like I said before, your best bet is finding a university student willing to barter a gaming GPU for a DP heavy GPGPU. If anyone in your family knows a professor in engineering, have them ask

No one in my family knows any engineering professors or students, so I think I should take to a site like eBay. Or mabye /r/HardwareSwapUK. Any other sites I could use?

You, as a minor, should not be using any of those sites without parental approval. Ask your parents for help selling it.
