Seeing as you’re running this from a laptop, was this speed test performed on a wired connection?

For self-hosting services you want to access remotely, you may find this to be exceptionally limiting. It may not be too bad if you live alone, and you’re sure no one else is using your network when you’re gone, but other devices performing routine updates may be enough to disrupt your outgoing connection. Additionally, that ping would indicate the speed test is being run from somewhere quite far from you. Latency that bad isn’t a great time for applications that might expect a consistent response time.

As for streaming those FLACs from your server while at home: You’re not going to struggle loading these files, because your local network is likely running at least at gigabit speeds. That speed test isn’t representative of your network as a whole, but just your internet connection.

A cursory search says somewhere between a 3060 and 4060, which seems about right. Games that parallelize well across the GPU cores will benefit, though that benefit will be niche if it exists at all. HBM2 memory is weird for gaming.

You’d see some benefit for sure, but this really is better suited to parallel computing, given the emphasis on CUDA core counts and memory bandwidth. You may also find you run into some latency, since it requires selecting the V100 as your primary GPU but a secondary card as the video output. Integrated GPUs work well for this, since your motherboard may already have this ability. Otherwise, you could use it in tandem with a 1030 or similar to get display out.
