Have been looking for a reasonable GPU for stable diffusion and happened to see this. Seems to be sub 400 for the first time after $30 drop since the most recent deal several days ago. 12GB will be good for sd/ai comparing to 3070 or 3070 ti（8GB) as well especially when amd cards are not considered.
Ps. free delivery for asus gpu until the end of June thanks to ChatGpt's reminder. This makes the deal a bit sweeter.
Thanks. I didn't notice that. Already amended in the post.
thats a 8gb , which is comparable to a 3050
8GB only
But it’s only 8GB vs 12GB in this deal.
Just thought i'd jump onboard here and let you know that's 8gb
I don't recommend doing that with GPU boards, especially Gigabyte ones.
Not sure if this has been said already but it’s 8gb
Thought that one was the 8gb
Just did a double check, its indeed the 8GB version whereas this is 12GB
His name is Robert thats8GBandThisIs12GB Paulson
How many GBs though? 🤔
Just wondering if this is 8GB or 12GB? I think the post is suggesting that it's only 8GB, can you confirm?
Is this the 8000mb or the 12000mb deal?
No.
It's 8,192MB.
Good deal
3060 ti can be had for $467 from Computer Alliance with eBay plus. Three models available for this price. According to Techpowerup it's 25% faster at 1080p, 29% at 1440p and 35% at 4k. Though the 3060 has more memory, it has 25% less bandwidth, thus the lower performance at the higher resolutions.
Much thanks for the heads-up!
It is an interesting conundrum to choose between 3060 and 3060ti. It would have been straight forward if the 3060ti had 12GB VRAM but since it does not and considering how the modern games are demanding more and more VRAM, I might as well go with 3060. And anyways the FPS difference between a 3060 and 3060ti is quite minimal as far as I understand.
2 games demand more VRAM and now its every single game needs more VRAM huh?
Where's Diablo 4's VRAM issues? See how a well optimised game looks?
Also Hogwarts and Jedi Survivor doesnt need as much since launch, stop following Hardware Unboxed like the bible
I understand the argument better when people frame it with expectations of the card to perform for the next several years. There's definitely some hysteria though. There's the two you mentioned, as well as TLOU remake, which have all been patched to varying degrees.
@TsundereGuy: VRAM is obviously important but 8GB isn’t suddenly irrelevant because some random youtuber showed some newly released titles not working properly, those titles were struggling on 4090s too ffs.
Reddit as usual overreacts and that sadly bleeds into some other communities too sometimes
This is for stable diffusion. VRAM is king when it comes to stable diffusion.
I already have one RTX3060 12GB for ML, I wonder what PSU i need if I run 2 of these.
I wanted a 3060 Ti but ended up settling on a 3060 12gb, and not long later Stable Diffusion became very useful to my work and it turned out to be the luckiest accident ever, because 12gb will just get you over the line for stuff like finetuning models whereas 8gb will leave you wanting. Since then I've upgraded to a 3090 since I use SD daily for work, but for anybody else I'd highly recommend 12gb as the minimum to consider. Speed isn't as important as being able to do things at all.
Can I ask what you do for work?
@cyrax83: Artist (comics etc). Used to be an AI researcher so it was a weird path to returning to what I knew.
I reckon i'll bite on the 6800 XT used miner card 1yr warranty $599
I'm tempted
How well would it pair with the Dell 4k 144hz monitor?
Amazingly. I'm buying it for that as well.
Aint those sold out?
Think more stock going up soon
What site do you use for ex miner cards?
On a side note - any good tutorials for stable diffusion?
NerdyRodent on YouTube is good.
The 4chan thread on its tech board has a lot of guides, but I wouldn’t recommend browsing it at work, in view of a loved one, or within 5km of children.
Cheers!
Do you need a strong card for stable diffusion?
VRAM is the name of the game.
8gb is barely good enough. 12gb is better. 24gb is best.
This card is the cheapest 12gb card around. (And no, AMD doesn’t count, unless you want your already janky experience to become 10x jankier.)
Why doesn't AMD count?
the AI models require CUDA for acceleration, which is a technology that nvidia makes
Needs to be 299
I want to learn more about Stable Diffusion. I watched Emad Mostaque (however his name is spelt) on Real Vision and have been curious ever since
Best to wait for 4060.
MSRP for that thing is gonna be $545AU and it's probably going to be barely faster than this without framegen.
US price for 4060 will be $299 which should equate to about $450 here.
It's 545AUD on nvidia's website.
Your mistake was forgetting the australia tax.
Also sales tax since the 299USD is without tax.
Best keep waiting for ever for something better to come along
Im waiting for the 9090
HODL! The 10090 will be better
