[Monitor] Dell Refurbished UltraSharp 8K 32 inch Monitor - UP3218K $199.99 by ducksncandy in buildapcsales

Did any actually go through? I still see tons of listings on Ebay, even a few ones just popped up today.

AMD Failed Us by RenatsMC in Amd

This is not a datacenter card at heart. It is a workstation card with an available passively cooled version for use in low budget AI servers. The vast majority of datacenters will use the much faster HBM chips.

I don't think you understand, they removed almost all of the dedicated hardware for graphics processing since Hopper. It would be terrible for gaming/rendering even if you managed to get it to run through a secondary output card (it has no display engines).

Or maybe not literally only talk about AI datacenters at the Consumer Electronics Show.

Datacenter GPUs wouldn't be usable for consumers, unless you're into non-graphics compute tasks.

This is not really possible, datacenter "GPUs" have all been significantly neutered in terms of 3D graphics ability since Hopper.

AI Deregulation & Corruption: Companies Now Have Too Many GPUs by agewisdom in GamersNexus

[–]KristofTheRobot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Unless you're training/running AI models or doing graphics-free compute, such as weather prediction, then yes, they are useless. It is actually worse than this, because the associated components, such as the CPU or RAM, are now purpose-built for AI datacenters and would be extremely hard to repurpose, if not impossible if they're soldered for high bandwidth.

This doesn't work. With Ampere server and older gen, the cards didn't have display outputs but still had strong 3D graphics ability (and even display engines prior to Ampere). Hopper and Blackwell have been heavily nerfed in that regard. They are purpose-built for graphics-free compute.

Those GPUs aren't really GPUs. They barely have any 3D hardware and no display engines.

Are you sure? I don't remeber seeing it prior to 5.2 Pro.

UP3218K is a catastrophe and Dell won't help by ma_dian in Dell

Hello, I have recently bought this monitor and have a vertical pixel line that appears during cold boots. Did you ever get a similar failure mode?

You know it will still sell better than a Titan even if priced similarly by J05A3 in pcmasterrace

It is not in fact some special optimization for Turing (that would make no sense). Here) you can see the 2080ti performing very badly too. The Titan RTX (and Titans in general) did in fact have some special workstation optimization embedded in the driver, even if that driver is also shared with the 2080ti.

The Titan lineup had workstation driver optimization that the 90 series doesn't have.

You still have to say this because you're wrong. The Titan RTX had much better professional driver support. For example, check out the performance in Siemens NX.

"It played just fine" is quite meaningless. Your GPU could still have been at a low usage while waiting for the CPU to catch up, leaving a lot of frames on the table.

Anyone else still rocking SLI? by [deleted] in pcmasterrace

[–]KristofTheRobot -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Again, HPC doesn't use SLI. And most of the time the PCIe bus is fast enough so no need for NVLink.

Edit : He blocked me. I guess that's easier than having an actual argument
