Hello,
I am building a linux box for scientific computing. Double precision computation performance is important to me, so a Tesla K40 seems to be the best choice for me for performance and price. I know that the K40 does not have any display outputs, so I thought that I might choose another GeForce card just for display output, and do all my cuda computations on the K40. I have been using a GTX 780 for computation in the past, however I now have the funds to upgrade to another card - I won't be able to take the 780 and put it in the new machine unfortunately.
Is is possible to have both the K40 and another GeForce card in the same machine, used at the same time? I read that there might be some difficulties with drivers, so I wanted to ask here before I make any purchases. As well, could you make any recommendations for a fairly cheap GeForce card that can just handle display outputs?
I won't be doing any gaming on this machine, so that does not matter to me at all.
Thank you,
Nathan
