Graphics card

What’s a good graphics card for software programmers? I just need one because I’m using amd

It depends on what you program and how much GPU power it needs.

What is your current gpu? Amd cards are capable of doing that depending on which model it is.

What exactly do you mean. Are you saying your planning a build with AMD, and thus won’t have integrated graphics and need a GPU? Or…..?

Yes this is what I mean. There won’t be any gaming but there might be a bit of rendering.

I suggest old nvidia high end then for CUDA acceleration on the cheap, since you don’t really need the gaming performance but could benefit from having a buttload of CUDA cores.

I would recommend a GTX 780, you can get them used on eBay for under $100 USD, has a ton of CUDA cores and would perform better for your use case than another basic gpu like a 1030

GTX 1070s are $160, and are WAYY faster than the 780
