From the NVIDIA Forums, March 2020:

MrGRID - "Top vGPU Forum Contributor", asked about 3D rendering uses for the K80:

"The K80 is Compute only and won’t do 3D. Also, it’s an extremely old architecture. Basically, don’t bother."

I am currently rendering with a K20 GPU in Poser 11 and it works (Fast renders). $100 for the card with over 2k Cuda cores. In today's market where will we find over 2000 Cuda Cores and 5GB of Video memory for $100?

Should work. Here is the story of a Blender user (Cycles) with three K80 driven by a Threadripper CPU. Sounds good, but expensiv to run (energy).

I'm sure it depends on what application you are using it for, but if I look at the task manager while Poser is rendering (GPU), all the work is being done by CUDA. So it wouldn't surprise me if it worked.

Tesla cards are driven like the very similar Gforce cards. Differences are handled by the driver. Applications must not know the differences to work.Maybe these cards are actually an alternative until the graphics card market has calmed down again and the prices for decent, up-to-date cards drop to a normal level.
