I have a Dell OptiPlex 3010 that I have purchased an Nvidia Tesla K20 for. Is it pretty much plug-n-play or is their software/driver installs necessary? Thanks!
Need help installing a GPU
- Thread starter 105437
- Start date
My GPU should arrive in the next day or so. Any advice or comments would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
The GPU itself is just plug-n-play, but to do anything with it like offload DeepStack to it, there are some files you need to do as part of the DeepStack for GPU.
First install these files and then download and install DeepStack for GPU:
Install DeepStack GPU
To install and use DeepStack GPU version on your Windows machine, follow the steps below
>> Download GPU version for Windows

Excellent, I really appreciate it. Looking forward to see what kind of improvement I get. I'd really like to start using the dark model, but right now with no GPU and the CPU version, it takes 6 - 10 seconds to process images.
You may have to go to nviidia website and download the newest drivers for that card first. ? Usually the driver disc that comes with it is outdated already.
@dudemaar ... I might be in trouble. I just went to look for a driver and couldn't find one. This NVIDIA Tesla K20 GPU Active Accelerator 5GB PCIe Gen 2.0 GPU is several years old.

I saw that... but the one I have is a K20, I think? I didn't see any reference to K20c in the description of the one I bought. Hopefully that driver will work.

I think it would work, normal NVIDIA makes there driver for the whole series.
Well... I'm pretty bummed. I received the GPU today and apparently I need a low profile card to fit inside my Dell OptiPlex 3010 DT. The card fits just fine except it's too tall and I can't put the lid back on. Ugh!
You could always cut an opening out of the LID for the GPU card to stick out of 
There are not too many low profile cards that have a lot of horsepower. I use the low profile 1030 that gets its power from the motherboard and it isn't a powerful GPU by any means, but it was an improvement in DeepStack by 6-8 times.

P400, P620, GT 1030, GTX 1050TI all have low profile version and they won't stress out your 250watt power supply.
Though, prices for any video cards is high right now due to chip shortage.
