Accelerators for AI

GPUs and purpose-built accelerator cards sold on their own, to add to a system you already have.

310 products from 12 vendors, from $106 to $795,000 (median $1,759). Most common accelerators: RTX 5080, RTX 5090, RTX 5070 Ti, RTX 4090, RTX 5060 Ti.

What to compare

Compare VRAM first, then memory bandwidth, then form factor — a passively cooled datacenter card needs server airflow and will overheat in a desktop. ECC matters for long training runs. Consumer cards are far cheaper per gigabyte, professional cards give you ECC, density and support.

Who buys these

Anyone upgrading an existing machine, and buyers pricing the same silicon across vendors before committing.
