Latest upgrade…A100 40 GB

Originally this was my gaming rig but I went ITX and basically bought a new computer. So I had the case, fans, AIO, 64 GB DDR5, motherboard, PSU, and 3080 (upgraded to 5070ti RIP). I was going to sell these parts, but I started running models on my 5070ti and eventually I wanted to start running larger models. I found a 3090 on eBay for $680, and 7950x for $350. I put that together with the parts and it’s been a great AI rig for me. I really didn’t plan on upgrading this for a while, especially now with the current price surges. Welp, I saw an A100 get listed for $1000 on eBay. The catch? Listed for parts, and the description just said “card reports CUDA error”. So I figured it was worth the risk (for me), I could’ve probably sold it for the price I paid. Well, I swapped out the 3080 and on the first boot it was recognized instantly by nvidia-smi. I was able to run and train models immediately. Nice.
