If the specs are too high, why are you applying?
Not sure if they have GPU’s on Digital Ocean…
And if they do they will have Quadro’;s etc - very expensive
Suggest applies next time - cheapest option is to have your own sever at home - unless you know some smaller 3d Renderring farm or somethig where you could rent a physical server…
Not if you compare with mining on PoW chains.
DO does not offer droplets with GPUs suggesting that applicant did not do sufficient research before applying here. Does not have my support.
PFFFFFF, if you think the hw specs are to high then why bother applying?
Friendly reminder: If you are planning to place it in a datacentre without GPU, it won’t work. So think about it.
