If you plan to use the Dedicated Server GPU Master that’s not going to work.
You’ll need to use one of the GPUs 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.

Hello, Abbaskaya!
I did not answer questions marked “optional”
I am currently build a home server, while there are problems with the supply of video cards, I hope that the issue will be resolved soon.
Please do answer the optional questions so that we can be sure that you are genuinely interested to run a node. Gpus are indeed a problem at the moment you could consider buying a used one.
“What kind of improvements would you like to see in xx network nodes vs. previous nodes you have supported?” - Optimization of the program code in order to increase productivity with less power consumption.
“What are potential setbacks preventing you from operating an xx network node?” - none
“If your server is located in your personal home, please specify the name of your Internet Service Provider (ISP).” - Lovit))
“Do you have hardware you would like to use but does not meet the stated BetaNet node specs? If so, please provide specs on that hardware below:” - none
“Do you have past experience managing communities or creating content to be distributed across social media? Please enter details for all with which you are comfortable or have experience:” - none
“What is the difference between decentralized networks and distributed networks, and where on the decentralization spectrum do you sit?” - A distributed network does not have a single center, which increases the resiliency and security of the network, but this network can belong to one organization, which alone will own all the information and can manipulate this network for personal gain. A decentralized network, like a distributed network, implies the presence of nodes in different geographic points, however, no node can control the processing of information alone, all processing is carried out together and all nodes have equal rights. I support the development of exclusively decentralized networks because this guarantees the confidentiality and security of information.
“As best as you can given currently available information, please describe the value proposition of the xx network platform and how it differs from other current blockchain solutions.” - The xx network combines Elixxir’s metadata hiding technology and a quantum secure blockchain with the unique xxBFT consensus engine developed by Praxxis. Abandoning POW and POS is the main difference from existing blockchains, xxBFT technology provides high speed and security while maintaining complete decentralization of the network and, most importantly, requires low power consumption.
“Privacy by Default is a goal of the xx network Platform. In your opinion, why is Privacy by Default critical for the future of the internet?” - Each stage of human development, there were different types of weapons giving power from a stone to a nuclear bomb, in our time the main type of weapon is information and the Internet as the fastest way to spread it and in order to prevent a catastrophe information should not fall into unnecessary hands.
“In your opinion, what threat, if any, do quantum computers pose toward decentralized systems? What about centralized systems?” - At the moment, I do not see ways of developing the technology of quantum computers, but in the near future I will study this issue and then I will be able to give a more structured answer to this question.

While I am not a fond of datacenter you will have my vote because you seem to be genuinely interested

Thank you very much, it’s nice to hear that) I will try to do everything in my power to benefit the project!
Thanks for the advice, I think I will opt for the 3060TI, it remains to find a supplier. Another question: will 800/800 Mbit Internet be enough?
Yes
