You can get off this GPU circus and simply go with purpose-built AI solutions.

You can buy single tensor accelerators from Google: https://www.coral.ai/products/

You can buy a bunch of those integrated into a single PCI-E card. https://iot.asus.com/products/AI-accelerator/AI-Accelerator-...

Cheap too. Some of these work with Mac. More of them work for PC, because the hardware interface is outside of Apple's thin vertical slice/garden.

These are devices for Tensorflow Lite which is more appropriate for IoT etc. not doing the intensive initial training of a complex model
