Reply to comment by --dany-- in Best GPU for deep learning by somebodyenjoy

Hi, thanks for your reply. So 2 3090s will be faster than one 4090, correct?

Not too much by some benchmarks. So speed is not your point here. Your main concern is if the model and training data can fit your VRAM.

I do hyperparameter tuning too, so the same model will have to train multiple times. More times the better, as I can try more architectures. So speed is important. But you’re saying that 4090 is not much better than 3090 in terms of speed huh

I’m saying 2x 3090s are not much better than a 4090. According to lambda labs benchmarks a 4090 is about 1.3 to 1.9 times faster than a 3090. If you’re after speed then a 4090 definitely makes more sense as it’s only slightly slower but is much more power efficient and cheaper than 2x 3090s.
