- minimaxir 9y agoWhen I say K80, I mean running a GPU in the cloud, not running it locally (and as an aside, due to the crypto boom, buying a physical GPU for cheap is more difficult)
- make3 9y agooh yeah. what i meant was that as k80 s are old, they don't have the fancy features like being fast with fp16, which came later. k80 come from slightly before the deep learning explosion afaik
- zeptomu 9y agoA nice compromise is the GTX1080 that you can rent at Hetzner for 100e/month [0]. I am not sure how it compares to other GPUs but for experimenting it works quite well. [0] https://www.hetzner.de/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ex https://www.hetzner.de/dedicated-rootserver/matrix-ex
- make3 9y agothat sounds really nice, thanks for the link
- make3 9y agoah, 100e. it's still really good
- TheAlchemist 9y agoIt's actually 118e/month (the price on the webiste are excluding VAT). I'm using it, and I can only recommend - 0 problems, pretty decent box for a low price. Great solution, and waiting for the crypto bubble to burst and GPU prices to fall !
