"textContent": "Turns out, Nvidia's older Turing-era V100 AI GPU is still pretty capable today, even with just 16GB of VRAM. A YouTuber got his hands on the SMX variant for just $100, converted it to a PCIe x16 interface for another $100 with an adapter, and got some pretty impressive results across AI inference and NVR benchmarks.",
