> Minimum: The minimum GPU memory required is 60GB for 540p.

Cool, I guess… If you have tens of thousands of $ to drop on a GPU for output that’s definitely not usable in any 3D project out-of-the-box.

Is more approachable than one might think, as you can currently find two of these for less than 1,000 USD.


How much performance penalty is there for doubling up? What about 4x?


I just found out about these last week and haven't received the hardware yet, so I can't give you real numbers. That said, one can probably expect at least a 10-30% penalty when the cards need to communicate with one another. Other workloads that don't require constant communication between cards can actually expect a performance boost. Your mileage will vary.


I assume it can be split between multiple GPUs, like LLMs can. Or hire an H100 for like $3/hr.


I mean, still awesome that it's OSS. Can probably just rent GPU time online for this


It’s really not that bad, integrating it with dashboards is where I found most of the difficulty to be (due to bad documentation). I spent 4 days on implementing observability for this new backend project I’m working on. OTEL logging, tracing, and metric emission took less than a day to implement, instrumentation was very well documented. When I tried to integrate with Grafana dashboards, that’s when things started getting pretty frustrating…


So, Musk summoning the Luftwaffe like that didn’t dissuade you from buying one?
