so I got these things available locally for $10-20. them is headless GTX 1060 6 GB used during the mining craze, with no way to add on a display out. there's a hack to use it with windows on Haswell and newer boards with iGPU.

there's got to be some use for the things, video transcoding, LLM (can they be run in parallel?), or maybe (spitballing here) sunshine server?

anyone had experience with them?

Are those "standard" chips or did they cut out any of the video functions? LLM should work, video transcoding in theory. For that money I'd simply buy one and test it.
