@gsuberland yeah but they cost way more and Nvidia wants people to pay for them....
@leo true, but I think some of that just comes down to the digital signage media space being really expensive anyway.
from what I can tell the USP is mainly the multiple NVENC decoders. but that comes at the cost of the rest of the graphics performance being generally garbage, since you don't really need any 3D perf for signage. it certainly doesn't look useful for CAD, for example.
@gsuberland (iirc at least on older generations that silicon is always present and it's just a driver lock, lol)
@leo yeah, the max display count is also an artificial lock with nVidia cards. with MST daisychaining you could theoretically run eight monitors at 4k60, but all desktop GPUs are locked to 4 max. the 1070 was the last card you could do high display counts with this way, and that turned out to be unintentional.
