P100 are dirt cheap, 16gb of 768GB/s HBM2 memory with FP16 support for ~$80... as of July. I like the PG500-216 cards in terms of specs. I had a breakdown of Tflop/watt as well at some point. New cards have much higher TDPs. the only real benefits come when the cards are idling.
With vgpu unlock you can use consumer cards, but I found the other benefits to these cards are, I can split them for VDI, video gaming and other GPU intensive tasks at the same time. So when LLMs stop being so cool at least I can still host my own game streaming service.
