GPU for homelab tinkering (alien.top)

Sorry for the noob question. I’m building out a new server and as I love playing with new tech, I thought I would throw in a GPU so I can try learn to integrate AI with things like Private GPT, document generation, meeting transcription, maybe some integrations with Obsidian, or even Home Assistant for automation. I like the idea of it being able to crawl all my information and offer suggestion, rather than me having to copy and paste snippets as I do now with Chat GPT. I’m a solo IT consultant by trade, so I’m really hoping it will help me augment my work.

Budget isn’t super important, it more that it’s fit for purpose, but to stop the people suggesting a £30,000 GPU, I cap it at ~£1000!

Thanks!

3 x anything is not an option. I’m 1 and done. 👍🏻

It just sucks because the sweet spot is 48GB but a single card is 3k usd at least.

At 1k you'll be stuck at 24GB for a single card.
