The Acer Intel A770 16GB GPU is now $250. You won't find a better new 16GB GPU for less. (alien.top)

Amazon has the Acer A770 on sale for $250. That's a lot of compute with 16GB of VRAM for $250. There is no better value. It does have it's challenges. Somethings like MLC Chat run with no fuss just like on any other card. Other things need some effort like Oob, Fastchat and BigDL. But support for it is getting better and better everyday. At this price, I'm tempted to get another. I have seen some reports of running multi-GPU setups with the A770.

It also comes with Assassins Mirage for those people that still use their GPUs to game.

Not sure of the performance of that card, but you can get pre-owned 24gb Nvidia Tesla cards for less.

Used is not the same as new. Also, a P40 can't be used as a GPU like with graphics. No video out. These can.

You can use the P40 as a GPU via integrated GPU out, but that's not good solution.

The A770 seems like a way better option with that much more performance.

Those extra 8gb of the P40 are nice though.
