I'm tempted to get one just to avoid having to think about upgrading a graphics card for another 10 years. Plus I can do some ML messing about as well for resume-driven development.
- selectodude 6y agoCheaper and better to get three $500 GPUs every three years.
- zimpenfish 6y agoBest I can get for $500 now (~£377) is an 8GB GTX2060 - 5x fewer cores, 1/3rd the RAM, 2/3rd the memory bandwidth of the GTX3090 which is £1399. Plus I really don't want to upgrade my PC again for at least 5 years - just done that and been reminded of why I hate it.
- sudosysgen 6y agoMaybe you should spend 500 pounds and get a 2070 super?
- zimpenfish 6y agoBut then I'm getting even closer to the GTX3090 price!
