Advice on buying 2x 3060 12gb

Post by pilipinoguy »

Should i buy a 3070 ti 8gb or 2x 3060 12gb. It should be the same price. I heard more memory is better and would having 2 3060 12gb give you a total of 24gb of memory to play with. Thanks

Personally I would go 2x3060, but ymmv.

Dual GPUs allow you to get speed up by increasing batchsize (the data is parellized), However, the model needs to still fit on each of your GPUs. (i.e. there is a copy of the model loaded onto each of the GPUs in the pool).

My word is final
