Never-released GeForce RTX 3080 20GB and Radeon RX 580 16GB now available in China Chinese companies are making new cards from used hardware. Recently, we have discussed the topic of RTX 4090 GPUs that are currently being disassembled and reassembled as AI-accelerators for the emerging AI market. This has been happening in China for a […]
I agree. I did deep fakes years ago with my 580, and having 16GB of VRAM would’ve been great for dealing with larger models and whatnot, but it’s past its prime at this point. Most budget cards today would be faster than it in compute, so that would be the reasonable option compared to the novelty of a 16GB 580.
Also, is the A770 really 200x faster in SD/LLMs or is that an exaggeration? I’m asking out of curiosity. I did some SD with DirectML and it was certainly slow, around 2 minutes for a set of images.
Probably a bit of an exaggeration but not too much. Intel released OpenVINO, making the A770 about 7x faster than the RX 6700.
That sounds about right. Nvidia and Intel seem to have better computer API support than AMD, so it doesn’t surprise me that the A770 performs much better with OpenVINO compared to the 6700. Alchemist is generally powerful in computer anyways, so that helps too.
