Could a card like this work for something like object recognition? Those tiny google tpus that are supposed to be 25 dollars are 100 dollars now, and I’m wondering if the prices get low enough, would these be a viable alternative (along with an undervolt)?
- gymbeaux 3y agoRaspberry Pis and other “small things” like Project Coral are ridiculously overpriced. It’s ironic because whenever I see someone post on Reddit about their tiny rack of Raspberry Pis in their closet, people always ask in the comments what they’re using the cluster for, and the OP always says something along the lines of “just fucking around.” If I’m on a budget, my first choice is probably going to be an older, used Nvidia GPU. Maybe a 1050 or one of the older Quadros. The Quadros will get you the most VRAM per dollar, but the GPU will be rather weak, in the realm of a 1050 perhaps, while the 1050 will have better/longer driver support and be physically smaller, quieter, and use less energy. If those aren’t an option, I would take a closer look at ROCm and HIP. It seems like AMD is prioritizing support for newer GPUs like the Radeon VII, so a $50 RX480 is probably not a good investment, despite the low price.
