For some reason my brain skipped "Nvidia" and I assumed this was about a budget/low-range version of the Tesla Model S. They already have the Tesla 60, 60D, 70, 70D, 75, 75D, 85, P85D, P90D, and now P100D. Why not add the P40?

Nvidia needs a "Ludicrous Mode" overclock setting for these cards. Push the button for 2.5 seconds of super-high frame rate! With some cool down time required.

This actually is a thing with GPU Boost 3.0. The card boosts up automatically if the temperatures are low, though lately there were issues with the GPU clock frequency oscillating because there wasn't enough hysteresis.

(This, by the way, means that GPUs are thermally constrained rather than timing-constrained.)


I thought the same thing. Who would buy a model S with such a small battery and why the weird P at the beginning?

Then I saw that it was Nvidia. :)
