Nope this isn’t a serious candidate imo

Turing or Ampere are supported.

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.

Please do answer on the optional questions that you haven’t answered also double check bandwidth requirements and tell us if are planning to run the gateway on a VPS or on the same machine; or you have two internet connections. And if all checks out; I will post my vote for this application
