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.
There is also the issue of pcie slots. Currently running a second card in a x4 slot and it’s noticeably slower. Getting four full speed x16 slots is going to be some pretty specialised equipment. All the crypto rigs are slow slots to my knowledge since it doesn’t matter there
It is good to see more competitive cards in this space though. Dual 770 could be very accessible
