I'd say it is cleverer to buy the PC for the specific workload intended. If the donkey work you're planning for a 2nd PC doesn't need a high end GPU, spending money on one is pointless. Very easy to add later if the need arises. Crypto mining has put a premium on GPUs that makes them a poor investment unless they're actually going to be used. A lot of secondary workstations in scanning and processing will be doing import, export, publishing and batch processing that mostly benefits from a decent CPU and big, fast, storage. Easy to add the GPU later when the need arises or you spot a bargain.bertazizoglu wrote: ↑Thu Jan 20, 2022 7:44 pm Hi Lieven, just make sure to get a PC with an NVIDIA graphics card. That's a key system requirement for running NUBIGON.
Nvidia makes sense if you've a CUDA workload but AMD can be cheaper if not
