Need more grunt for machine learning

Changing the motherboard for a Asus TUF X570 & including Windows (assuming I can't recycle the licence) brings the price to £1518. Its not impossible but its more than I was looking to spend.

My original spec replacing the RTX 2060S with a GTX 1660 comes in at £1047.

Everything comes at a cost unfortunately. What you don't want to do is compromise the build with poor foundation choices. It;s all very well shoehorning in a whacking great CPU and GPU into lesser comparing parts, exactly what big brands do, but it doesn't help the longevity of the system, especially when it comes to future potential.

You can suggest the components you absolutely want in the build with the lowest possible supporting accompaniments and we can tell you what will work... it's just not what we will recommend for the reasons outlined above. It's always best to spend wisely now so that in a year or 2, when it's time to upgrade, it's down to a GPU or something else rather than a whole system.

Yeah, the RTX because of their tensor cores give a significant increase in hardware accellerated applications.

I can't find the exact page anymore but they have a rating of 7.5 (maybe 75) whatevers? and they are comparable to quadro cards.

I installed the cuda drivers for pytorch but never ever got around to using it.

You've got to chuckle at that graph when you consider the Firecuda at 5x the speed of the fastest RAID 0 in that graph.

A PCIe4.0 system with a couple of M2 Firecudas on there is highly unlikely to benefit from any RAID 0 configuration at all. I just can't imagine a PCIe bridge making any odds over what the motherboard has on-board anyway.

I would love to see some graphs on it, especially with actual real world usage instead of benchmarking.

The graph was only intended to show an illustration of RAID 0 vs non-RAID 0, to highlight
debiruman665's point. Nothing else. It wasn't a critique on one type of device or bus over another.

I'm not sure why you seem to be taking what I wrote personally? I was only pointing out how far things have came and just how insane the M2 drives are, I wasn't criticising your post.

L2 Inferno would be a better fit for those uses. I would just call up and ask if you can bump the RAM up to 32GB.
