Comparative Testing of GPU Servers with New NVIDIA RTX30 Video Cards in AI/ML Tasks - insideBIGDATA

In early September 2020, NVIDIA debuted its second generation GeForce RTX 30 family of graphics cards, the Ampere RTX architecture. NVIDIA broke with tradition when its new generations of cards were sold more expensive than their predecessors, which means that the cost of training models has remained more or less the same. This time NVIDIA has set the price of new and more popular cards at the level of the previous generation of cards at the time of sale. For AI developers, this event is significant -- in fact, the RTX 30 cards open up access to performance comparable to the Titan RTX, but with a much lighter price tag. Data science developers now have the ability to train models faster without increasing costs.
