In a previous post, Build a Pro Deep Learning Workstation… for Half the Price, I shared every detail to buy parts and build a professional quality deep learning rig for nearly half the cost of pre-built rigs from companies like...

deep-learning build-gpu-rig

We already know the best performance/cost GPUs for state-of-the-art deep learning and computer vision are RTX GPUs. So, which RTX GPU should you use? To help you decide, I benchmark the three premier GPUs: 2080 ti non-blower, 2080 ti blower,...
