[3dem] Using NVLink on RTX cards

[Amedee des Georges]

Following the question on the Titan RTX, I see that we can add an NVLink between two cards to potentially double the available memory.
I am sure many would be interested to know if our beloved cryo-EM programs can take advantage of this natively or if it is not so simple.

Best,

Hi Saikat,

Would you please let me know which application / functional component of cryo-EM data processing? I will do my best to provide guidance where I am able.

Thank you.

Hi cryo-EM community members,

I would like to know if anyone is using or benchmarked the Titan RTX card for cryo-EM data processing?

Is it worth the price of the card (almost twice the price of the RTX 2080Ti)?

Thanks,
-Saikat

Dear Community,

A couple weeks ago there were a couple of  helpful discussions on the comparison between different GPUs.  I am wondering if people can provide some insight into the newly announced Titan RTX https://www.nvidia.com/en-us/titan/titan-rtx/   The 24GB memory seems to be particularly appealing.

Thanks,

Xiaoshan

Dear Jonathan,

I am referring to the standard cryo-EM data processing packages like
Relion-3-beta, Cryosparc 2, IMOD to name a few.

Thanks,
-Saikat
