Is RTX 3060ti 8GB good enough for Machine Learning/DL and Neural Network training?

[Jackal990]

I'm just beginner at ML/DL and trying to get into freelancing in this field. Currently I have 3060ti and I'm thinking of using it until next year to make money in the field of DL/ML. After Nvidia launches it's RTX 4000 series, I will upgrade to 10gb or more GPU.

So, is my current GPU good enough to land me some freelance projects?

Yeah, sure. Although most SOTA models want 11~12gb of vram, you work around that by reducing batch sizes, trimming down parameters and making full use of fp16.

 

Heck, I used my previous 2060 Super for 2 years without many problems (although whenever I needed more vram, I just spun up a cloud v100 instance).
