For a long time, consumer Nvidia Graphic cards supportted having plain cuda cores despite not being branded for accelerators.
The problem in my case is while Tensor cores allow to perform cuda, they are restricted to matrix and less precise computations. This speeds up machine training and what depends on it like nvidia dlss.
On the new rtx series, I m no longer seeing any reference to the number of cuda cores (like rtx 3090 or rtx 3070).
Does it means things like deterministic cuda based rendering with Indigo Render now require Tesla gpu for newer cards?

I can confirm that the 3000 series, and presumably older RTX and GTX cards still have cuda cores, in addition to tensor and RT cores.
You can check the CUDA core count from the nvidia control panel, under system information
The RTX 3080 for example has 8704 CUDA cores listed
If you don't have the exact card on hand, there's lists you can use to look it up. WCCFtech has specifications for some newer, and some speculative cards. For the models that are currently out as of Oct 2020, the numbers look correct, though
