Which gpu are you going to use ?
What is your bandwith ? 33.98 maps download ?
Please clarify
What kind of video card are you using? Until you specify, it’s a no for me.
Hi Abbaskaya
I currently have a Nvedia Geforce RTX 2060 SUPER running.
As far as the bandwith goes it was an estimated gess.
After speed test i have measured about 60Mbs Download and 20MBs Upload speed.
I hope this clears some things out, pleas let me know if you have anymore questions.
regards
Hi mrblister
using a Nvedia Geforce RTX 2060 SUPER
Feel free to ask.
regards
Rtx 2060 will not be sufficient also your upload must be at least 100mbps if you use a separate gateway and node otherwise minimum bandwith is 150mbps if you would meet these specs you would have my vote while I believe that you are seriously interested in running a node.
Hi
thank you for the fast reply
What kind of graphics card am i looking for them? i’m very willing to meed the demands.
As far as the bandwith goes i’m currently connected on a wifi so i figured that wouldn’t suffice.
I do have other connections and places that will meet the required speeds. Knowing this now.
Thank you for the support
regards
You need at least a rtx 2070 (turing) or a rtx3060ti(ampera) be careful the rtx 3060 isn’t conform the specs. If you can chance the gpu and bandwith you would have my vote
You’ll want to use one of the cards that are supported and recommended for compatibility and capability, but not necessarily by price. You will have to decide what you are willing to spend.
RTX 2070, RTX 2080, RTX 2080ti, RTX 2070 Super, RTX 2080 Super, RTX 3060ti, RTX 3070, RTX 3080, RTX 3090
I personally recommend either the RTX 2070 or the RTX 3060ti. I’ve had no problems with either of those in the NodeLab. I do not recommend any Turing GPU with specs less then a 2070 and I do not recommend the RTX 3060 12GB.

Hi Abbaskaya
I have checked the possible bandwith this can be changed to a comfortable 250MBps Download and a 175MBps Upload speed. As far as the GPU goes @Keith has given a marvelous overview on what would be the best option. To be able to meet the current standard i have managed to get my hands on a MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super Gaming X Trio if this suffices for the node it shall be implemented as such. I am shocked on the unavailability of GPU’s so i will keep my eyes open for any further opportunities to expand in this capacity.
I would like to thank all of you for the great feedback.
I hope we have come to clear view on what the specs will be and where the possibilities still are.
I wish you all a great evening
Best of luck

Hardware is difficult to find right now as you mentioned. If you can implement an upgrade as you said and increase your bandwidth then it’s a yes from me!
