A GPU may be defined as a hardware on the internet but it’s one of the major component behind the working of stable innovations, including - Gaming, software development etc

How would you describe it as a part of your life?

With so many cloud GPU providers available today, it feels like access to compute should be less of a barrier than it was a few years ago.
But is that actually true?

Do you think cloud GPUs have genuinely made AI development more accessible, or are there still major pain points that make people prefer owning their own hardware?

Curious what problems you still run into when using cloud GPUs or, if you avoid them entirely, why.

If I had to pick just one, I'd go with the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3060 (12 GB version).

Over the past 5–7 years, we've seen some amazing GPUs come and go. Looking back, which one do you think has aged the best? Whether it's because of its performance, value, reliability, or how well it still holds up in today's games, I'm curious to hear your pick. What makes it stand out compared to the rest?

I need to buy a GPU for my brother who is interested in building AI ml models but im on a budget and there are so many gpus in the market. I also learned that there are gpu rental platforms that rent out gpu cloud servers….. they are expensive aswell. Help me out.
