Newegg - 8GB GDDR5 K520 GRID PCI-E x16 card $37? Worth anything? (No video outputs!)

I assume that these were the GPUs that supported virtualization. My biggest question would be the drivers. There are 3rd-party NV drivers, for otherwise not-supported cards.

Please don't move this to Hot Deals, at least, not until it's confirmed that it would be worth more than just scrap to a consumer. (IE. supported by drivers for non-server Windows.)

Interesting. From the looks of it, they may be useful for compute tasks, but not graphics, as the picture shows no video outputs. So the only use I could see for a desktop would be for someone doing DC/mining/other compute. Maybe someone from the DC forums would be interested?

I didn't even catch that.

There is a possibility to use compute cards through VGA passthrough of onboard iGPU but the Nvidia driver needs to support that.
