Ask HN: What are some interesting use cases for a 1060GTX?
Hello!
I'm just curious some interesting use cases for a 1060 GTX; outside video editing, graphic design, and gaming.

- damassive 9y agoYes! Thank you! Have you done any parallel programming?
- mars4rp 9y agogo to http://course.fast.ai/ http://course.fast.ai/ watch the first 2 videos, run the notebooks on your GPU, submit to kaggle! it may make you interested in AI !!!

- cjhanks 9y agoMachine learning libraries practically assume some sort of GP-GPU will be available these days. And most software developers are unwilling to go back to being tethered to a desktop for work. A lot of developers are using what is essentially a "portable desktop", this card fits in with that ethos.
- ccdev 9y agoI'm starting to feel this effect, having just bought my first new laptop in 9 years. It's supplanted my desktop for almost all my needs- only thing missing is moving all my old files from there.
