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!
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.
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 Usually the driver disc that comes with it is outdated already.
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.

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.
CUDA cores are more important than memory from what I can see so far. 1,000 or more seems to provide the best bang for the buck and shortest analysis times.
