Note: I assume you mean the Tesla K80. It's actually 2 GPUs on one card.

But yes, it's a very good value.



I just checked ebay and they are shockingly cheap. I can't even get DDR3 memory for the price they're selling 24GB of GDDR5... with a GPU thrown in for free.

Why is this? Did some large cloud vendor just upgrade?

Are there any deals like this on AMD hardware? Not having to deal with proprietary binary drivers is worth a lot of money and reduced performance to me. A lot.


No, AFAIK there aren't any deals like this.

These are pretty old, and all the companies are upgrading. But no one is upgrading from AMD hardware - basically no companies care if they use proprietary drivers. They want a good price-to-performance ratio, so they use NVIDIA stuff.

Plus, everyone wants CUDA.


The bottom fell out of the market when etherium switched over to proof of stake?
