Nvidia and CUDA programming

I run Fedora linux on my x86 desktop. For a long time I have used a very basic GT 1030 graphics card. I will soon be transitioning to a RTX 3060 card.

The 1030 has 384 CUDA cores. I am somewhat surprised by this, but it suggests that I might even be able to experiment with CUDA programming on this low end card.

To my surprise, I learn that it is possible for display and CUDA programming to be done on the same hardware.

The RTX 3060 has 3584 CUDA cores, along with 28 RT cores and 112 Tensor cores. The RTX 3060 was officially released on February 25, 2021.
