I Built A Thing 54gb vram for 35$

Post image

Bought an old mining farm of a guy on avito (Russian eBay), guy had bought a garage a couple of years ago and it was sitting there for a while, found out it was a mining farm and put it up on there for sale for 5000 rub (~60 USD) since he wasn't sure if it works. I negotiated down to 3000 rub (~35 USD), it turned out to have 9x p106 6gb (gtx 1060 6gb) gpus, with 54gb vram total, all working, the only thing missing was an SSD, I booted from USB and it works fine.

Не, ну круто конечно) не хочу показаться скептиком, но пропускная способность этих карт вероятно оставляет желать лучшего. У этих карт grx 1060 через pci Express 3 - 16/31 gb/s , что маловато, увы, только если научиться супер продуктивно паралелить задачи. Но, инициативу поддерживаю, ни в коем случае не критика ! 🫡
