Not sure what constitutes a datacenter? They do not explicitly define it under definitions. 
No Datacenter Deployment. The SOFTWARE is not licensed for datacenter deployment, except that blockchain processing in a datacenter is permitted.

Reading the EULA on the NVIDIA US site for GeForce, it does not contain the Datacenter languange under the limitations as it does on the UK site..at least as of the posting of this. In fact datacenter does not appear anywhere in the license agreement on the US site.

https://www.geforce.com/drivers/license

US Site -

"2.1.3 Limitations.

No Reverse Engineering. Customer may not reverse engineer, decompile, or disassemble the SOFTWARE, nor attempt in any other manner to obtain the source code.

No Separation of Components. The SOFTWARE is licensed as a single product. Its component parts may not be separated for use on more than one computer, nor otherwise used separately from the other parts.

No Rental. Customer may not rent or lease the SOFTWARE to someone else."
