Having your own GPU is nice, but it's power hungry, heats the room, and only really makes sense if you use it a lot.

For a list of cloud GPU providers with rough price comparisons, I created this page: https://cloud-gpus.com

Having your own GPU makes sense if it works out cheaper than the cloud equivalent (not just the GPU bit but everything else - bandwidth/storage fees, etc).

Given the prices of cloud infrastructure, it doesn't take much before walking to your local computer store and buying a GPU (or more!) becomes more cost-effective.
