Reserved for ...

What are the odds, I own hundreds of GPUs but none are the 660 🤔 Gl hf to those participating.

Is LOD allowed ?

Is there an official wallpaper for this one?

I asume only quadro 2000 https://hwbot.org/hardware/videocards?key=nvidia-quadro_series-quadro_2000
And no 2000D same card but whit dual dvi and no display port

The 2000D is allowed. It uses the same GPU as the regular 2000, down to what is written on the silicon. GeForce equivalents of the GF106-875 GPU are not allowed.

Yes why use two platforms for something, if the competition is on hwbot anyway.
Even though it is externally organized and controlled
