| I have an NVidia Tesla P40 in my home NAS/media server that I use for video encoding purposes. It doesn’t even have any video outputs, but it does have dual media encoders and a decent amount of VRAM for lots of (relatively) high quality simultaneous transcoding streams using NVENC/NVDEC to re-encode 4K Blu-ray remux’s on the fly. |

| My guess would be video encoding/decoding and rendering. |

| Some people are tired of rendering everything on the CPU via AVX. |
