Best GPU for Deep Learning in 2022 (so far)

The A100 family (80GB/40GB with PCIe/SMX4 form factors) has a clear lead over the rest of the Ampere Cards. A6000 comes second, followed closely by 3090, A40, and A5000. There is a large gap between them and the lower tier 3080 and A4000, but their prices are more affordable. So, which GPUs to choose if you need an upgrade in early 2022 for Deep Learning? We feel there are two yes/no questions that help you choose between A100, A6000, and 3090.
