Flat out wrong. Also, LUKS is not relevant. Since LUKS is for encrypting stored data, it won't work if a device ID is in memory.

What are you smoking?
No, you would not be able to track and find the location of one specific GPU. The best bet is that you'd know what computer that GPU belongs to and track that system as a whole, but that's assuming the parent system.

I did mention a potential way. But for just the GPU alone, no. And also, if you have any shred of doubt about the NVIDIA driver not sending identifying data out, you could always wireshark it. Though it's admittedly very boring to watch.
