Amazon has the Acer A770 on sale for $250. That’s a lot of compute with 16GB of VRAM for $250. There is no better value. It does have it’s challenges. Somethings like MLC Chat run with no fuss just like on any other card. Other things need some effort like Oob, Fastchat and BigDL. But support for it is getting better and better everyday. At this price, I’m tempted to get another. I have seen some reports of running multi-GPU setups with the A770.
It also comes with Assassins Mirage for those people that still use their GPUs to game.
The arc have support in pytorch from intel. I’ve seen GPTQ work with them. Not sure how good the speed is.
multi-GPU
That’s the question I guess. If you can get say 5x of these for the price of a 4090 then that may look interesting. Though that’s a hell of a lot of overhead & hassle on power and pcie slots etc.
