Get a 3090 or a 4090 for the vram. For short term cloud is always better cuz it’s cheaper. For long term , having a gpu is incredibly handy and the cloud expenses build up so a gpu in that case becomes more economical.

Imo 3080 isn’t worth it because 10gb is too low.

I value your input and will apply this. Re: costs building up, that’s definitely my concern too. Is it best to buy from like a BestBuy or are there better options ?

Facebook marketplace , inspect the product and bargain. Got myself a brand new 3090 with the peel on it for 750$CAD

Got it, that’s a valuable idea

Oh and does it matter if I get an Intel or AMD (assuming it’s RTX3090)?

I use a 5800x but for deep learning I would recommend Intel for max stability

Got it. Could you clarify what you meant by stability ?

Personally haven’t faced an issue but a more experienced person told me he has ran into some issues with AMD chips with some frameworks. That’s all. Nothing major.

Appreciate the clarification. I am getting a good deal on RTX 4080 with an AMD Ryzen 7
