GTX 2080/2080Ti RTX for Deep Learning?

[EricPB (Eric Perbos-Brinck)]

Just made a post regarding the issues of decreasing performance when using gaming GPUs (vs Blower ones) in a Multi-GPUs setup, due to over-heating, as investigated by Puget.

Why you probably want a "Blower" GFX for multi-GPU's

In the past, there has been a lot of discussions/questions about the best type/version of GFX for Deep Learning, mainly around “Does O/C (OverClock) help ?”. Sometimes it came down to “What the best cooling, Dual/Triple fans, or a basic Blower fan ?” My take was that the better/more heat is expelled from the PC case by the GPU itself, the better for performance and stability as it won’t add extra-heat to the CPU and even more to be expelled by your single 120mm case fan (while an O/C card come…
