Graphics cards without display outputs are still useful, you can use them for VFIO and gpgpu workloads


What's the market for second hand GPUs for scientific computing, compared to second hand GPUs for gaming?


like anything else, worth quite a bit to the right customer, until they become functionally obsolete (f.ex: nobody really cares about Kepler hardware anymore and it's gotten quite cheap)

now, being that mining cards didn't start at $10k per card to begin with, they won't sell at $10k per card on the secondhand market, but they'll do OK.

at a hundred bucks, why wouldn't you pick one up for your folding@home rig, vs paying full freight for a card with a graphics output you'll never use?
