Thank you! Unfortunately the oldest GPUs we support are Pascal and your GTX 960 is Maxwell. We have this cutoff for GPU hardware support for two reasons: 1) Nvidia doesn't support Maxwell with recent versions of CUDA (fair enough, Maxwell is 9 years old). 2) Anything other than a GTX Titan X doesn't have the required VRAM. That said, we do support and have recommended hardware configurations for cards such as the Tesla P4, GTX 1070, etc which can be had for roughly $100 on the used market. WIS does support CPU only configurations but GPUs offer such significant fundamental architecture improvements a $100 six year old GPU will best the fastest CPUs in the world for this application at significantly less cost and power usage. A CPU only configuration is fundamentally incapable of providing our target end-user experience - self-hosted, private Alexa without compromise. Copied from a comment below: I have hardware arriving this week that I purchased from eBay for $320 with shipping and tax - Dell Precision with i7-7700, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD[0] and GTX 1070[1]. Seems to be the current "best bang for the buck" if you don't have any of this stuff just sitting around. The idea is because Willow devices are so cost-effective you can buy this hardware to host WIS, HA, other homelab stuff, etc and still come out ahead (even with power) compared to Raspberry Pi: Qty 5 Willows - $270 with power supplies (support wake word, far-field audio, LCD display, speaker, mics, etc) WIS hardware - $320 (or less - it's up to you!) Total cost: $590 Six Raspberry Pis (no wake word, poor audio quality, unusably slow, cumbersome, very DIY): $720 (retail kit with board, SD, LCD display, mic array, speaker, enclosure). MSRP - can't actually be purchased for that. I expect this hardware to do well (returning well below 500ms for Willow speech locally with excellent quality) and I'll be documenting the power consumption optimization work I'm doing over the weekend.
