Is it worth "Upgrading" to a B50pro from a 12gb A2000 ?

[ComfySofa]

As above - i wondered what the state of getting a B50pro running on ProxMox is? ive owned my A2000 for a few years now and its still worth quite good money...not much less than a B50 but the B50 has 16gb in there and obviously is newer tech.

If anyone could advise that'd be great.!

Cheers.

i can't really speak to the performance of each card (maybe there is some relevant benchmark for you out there) but theoretically the b50 can do sr-iov (so "vGPU") while the a2000 can't do that. if that's relevant to you it might be an upgrade.

we recently got some b50 here, but we have yet to test them. the plan would be to have a how to guide in the future, but no promises/timelines

in the meantime here is some forum post with experience for the b50 pro and pve:

Hi there - yes, thats one of the videos i did watch...im still quite a novice user when it comes to GPU stuff. But, if srv-io is the way forward (the new way of doing GPU stuff) then ill probably go for it...

Would that be a fair assessment? (thanks for the reply)
