Hell Yeah! Direct Deepstack Integration - 5.4.0 - March 31, 2021

The 1650 looks interesting - energy-efficient - powered by the motherboard and has a better benchmark than the 1050 with more cores. newer tech.

To my knowledge all 1650's are powered from 6 pin PCIe connectors, not the motherboard. Quadro if you want board power, 1050/1650/1660 for PCIe.

Really confusing, quite a minefield of models. Says here some are powered by the board. Looks like some are and some are ok on the 75w.
Think I need to look into a power supply to open up options.

Those power connectors are there for a reason :lol: Maybe some will run without in low power applications, maybe. The minute the card is called upon for serious work you can bet on a system crash without the PCIe connected. A new PSU with PCIe connectors would give you more options, Seasonic or BeQuiet would be my recommendations, in that order.
 
I have a spare 4 pin connector from a 500w supply (for a HDD). Actually 2 (a 2nd HDD really not in use)
Can this be adapted to feed a 6 pin of it?
I guess one of these: (does it need 2 x 4 pin to supply 1 6pin?)

I guess in theory that should/could work, never used so can't comment, I would also be happier using a dedicated PCIe feed to be honest. I'm surprised your PSU doesn't have a dedicated feed actually, guessing it must be quite old, seems odd though.

Looks like I need a 500w plus 80w bronze that has the extra 6pin. Had that choice when I ordered the pc.
Buy cheap buy twice always comes back to bite you. Well, it was a quick impulse purchase as my main intel died for work.
 
Very excited to get this installed! Was brand new too

It was listed as a refurb which is fancy terms for used. It was brand new in the sealed anti-static bag, had the new cancer Chinese smell to it too
 
$320, not bad at all I think

I was looking at a P400 for like ~$100, but that's only 2GB RAM 256 CUDA Cores, so this thing is 10x the cores

Ah, that is a shame, sorry to hear. If you do get another then try and go best you can, Seasonic Gold if you can stomach the cost, should outlast this PC and possibly the next.
 
I would for sure just use an adapter to be honest, if it were me anyway
 
Now I'm looking at Tesla K80's on eBay, 24GB, 4992 cores :wtf: I had no idea these things even existed, I've been living under a rock obviously.

Intrigued to see how you get on with this new toy, will it just be used to Deepstack Blue Iris?
 
Initially just for Deepstack, and then I'm going to work on migrating my OpenALPR install over there. Its currently in a VM on my ESXi server and it uses so much darn CPU

Keep us posted, interested to see how it works out. Been battling with OpenALPR chewing my CPU even when using GPU in Rekor, see the other thread. You've got an i7-8700 so it should work out better than my i5-4690.

What are people's thoughts on the Asus gtx 1050 ti 4gb? Local seller has a used one. Double fans.
Have 2 Asus laptops and a router. Always like the quality of Asus. But gpu cards no idea
