Reply to comment by LetMeGuessYourAlts in Trying to figure out what GPU to buy... by GhostingProtocol

I’d buy used anyways, kinda a hot take but I refuse to give NVIDIA money :P

I’m thinking of going with 3090 for 900$ or 3080 for 650$ (I can get FE for 750$ which would be pretty epic)

Got any advice? I don’t like that the 3080 only has 10GB vram. But 3080 is already pretty much overkill for anything I’d use it for other than deep learning. Kinda on the fence here tbh

I just bought a used 3090 for $740 on eBay before tax. I view my GPU as a for-fun expenditure. Part of that is ML stuff. For the cost of a handful of new release videogames, you can go from 10gb to 24gb and do a lot of cool stuff. There's going to be increasingly less state of the art stuff that fits in 10gb comfortably.
