I Put a Datacenter GPU in My Gaming PC for £200

A tech enthusiast installed a datacenter-grade Tesla V100 GPU (16GB VRAM) into his gaming PC using a third-party SXM2-to-PCIe adapter for approximately £200, giving him 32GB total VRAM across two GPUs to run large language models locally at 32 tokens per second. The V100, despite being from 2017, offers superior memory bandwidth (900 GB/s) compared to modern consumer cards like the RTX 4080 and M-series chips, making it cost-effective for AI inference workloads, though it requires a noisy server-grade cooling fan that runs constantly at maximum volume.
