[3dem] GPU advice for Relion

[Ioannis Vakonakis]

Hi Takanori,

Thanks for the quick reply. Even the top-end gaming cards (e.g. nVidia RTX 2080 Super) max to about 8 or 10GB, if memory serves right. Would that amount of memory be sufficient, or what card would you recommend?

Best wishes

John

Hi,

GTX 1660Ti has only 6 GB of VRAM.
I don't recommend this unless your box is very small.

Best regards,
