Recent kernels have SR-IOV support for these chips too. B&H has them listed for $950.

When 32GB NVIDIA cards seem to start at around $4000 that's a big enough gap to be motivating for a bunch of applications.

I'm probably going to snag one of the Intel cards just for the SR-IOV and use with VM's

  • Depending what you're doing AMD's support for VirtIO Native Context might be a useful alternative (I think it gives less isolation which could be good or bad depending on use).
