Tensorflow.js: Machine Learning in JavaScript

I will have to purchase a new PC soon. Provided I want to play around with Tensorflow.js, is there anything that I shoudl avoid o urgently include in the spec? Any specific graphics card or processor?

If you can wait, wait as the other commenter stated. However, if you're just interested in playing with machine learning, you don't need to get the latest and greatest tech! Even the raspberry pi can do some machine learning experiments or inferences.

I'd wait for the RTX 3000 series if possible, which would be around September or October. Seems like it will have better ML performance, and more VRAM, too.

If you just want to play with Tensorflow.js in browsers then any video card will do. If you want to use Node then I think you can get accelerated performance using a NVidia video card.

If you want to train your own models then you'll need to use Python (or in theory Swift or something..) and you want an NVidia video card.

if you want to make use of your GPU you need an NVIDIA graphics card
