Why It Mattered

Tesla K40c is a Tesla K Series accelerator from the Kepler generation. Its historical context is data-center deployment rather than gaming, so form factor, memory capacity, interconnect, virtualization features, and server compatibility are the details that make this entry useful.

Used-Market Caution

Before buying used, confirm PCIe versus SXM or OAM form factor, passive airflow needs, auxiliary power, HBM size, firmware locks, ECC or retired-page errors, seller proof from nvidia-smi under load, and whether any vGPU or enterprise licensing is required.
