They gave me a Radeon RX 570 Mining Edition video card. I wanted to know if it is possible to use the HDMI video output of my Core i3 on the motherboard, like modding the tesla k20xm, to play Videogames.
 
The mining card has zero video output and quad bios.

Then you'll have to do what they did in the video, find a modified driver from...somewhere...disable secure boot, and set up the GPU in a very janky way. If I were ranking the results based on probability, I would put "pleasant experience" as somewhat less likely than the other possibilities such as "awful experience," "doesn't work," "bricks the BIOS," "infects the PC with malware/viruses," and "requires a full Windows reinstall."

Linus did it here because he was making a video just to show it can be done, not because it's a good idea or recommended in any way. It was a proof of concept.

Don't hide the truth.

What do you mean "They gave me"?
You bought the used card, didn't you?

Anyway, my GTX 1070's outputs somehow didn't work after it got moved to a new PC. I plugged the HDMI cable to the motherboard's output and I can still play games with the 1070 (Spider-Man Remastered at 1080p 100FPS, an iGPU can't do that).

Then again, it does not have a mining VBIOS.
