I want to experiment with deep learning by training on the GPU, but the price even for used cards just makes me put it off. :-O. If it doesn't come down soon tho, I might cave and buy one.
Vega Frontier Editions (16 GB HBM2) are going for around $600-700 on eBay and Craigslist, also Facebook Marketplace in some areas.
Radeon VIIs (16 GB HBM2) are going for around $650-1000 on the same platforms.
You can easily put two of those into a machine and have a pretty impressive deep learning rig.
