NVIDIA graphics card in recent years in high performance computing, artificial intelligence, deep learning, autopilot and other fields arena, its various product lines are also go hand in hand, Tesla, Quadro have made impressive achievements.
But both types of products are quite expensive, and the hardware is essentially by far the same as the GeForce card, except for a few specific units, so many businesses use GeForce for professional purposes, albeit with poor performance but cheaper many.
Of course, NVIDIA can not stand this (much impact on profits ah), recently quietly updated the GeForce Software-driven License Terms (EULA), which made it clear:
'Prohibited for data centers.' 'The software does not have data center authority unless it is handled by an authorized data center blockchain.'
Therefore, if large customers want to continue to cooperate with NVIDIA, they must honestly use professional cards such as Tesla and Quadro in the professional field, and then they will be professionally driven or switched to AMD?
NVIDIA is also said to do, Japan's number one data center Sakura Internet (Sakura Network) has received NVIDIA's notice, immediately stop using the Titan X graphics inside the server.
In addition, although NVIDIA does not explicitly encourage graphics mining, but also for personal mining users introduced P106, P104 and other special products, data centers using GeForce graphics mining is also not subject to strict constraints.
