If you have to ask this, most likely a 3080ti is way overkill for your needs.

If you have a huge budget to burn for a beginner, buy either one. Nevertheless, I suggest you start with Google Colab or other free services. Then you can get some feel for the kind of hardware you need for the work you want to do.

It will take you a while to get to a point where Colab is not enough. By that time you won't be a beginner anymore and you will be able to wisely choose a suitable gpu (which may well be no gpu at all, maybe a cloud service fits your use case better?)

You don't even need a computer to learn about deep learning, let alone a high-end graphics card like an RTX 3080ti.

My 10 year old shitty midtier laptop graphics card is enough to learn about deeplearning. Even cpu works when you're learning about small cnns or classical machine learning.

your friends are idiots to say that..you can easily use a 3080ti for training for a beginner.

I’ve been using a 1070ti and it works for training various models. I’d love something newer to speed up some of the trainings, but a 3080ti would be solid.
