GPU Selection Guide for LLM Deployment
💰 Budget-Friendly Options (Under $10k)
- RTX 4090 (24GB): Best for 7B-13B models, single card setup
- RTX 3090 (24GB): Good value for smaller models and experimentation
- Multiple RTX 4060 Ti (16GB): Cost-effective for distributed inference
🏢 Enterprise Solutions ($50k+)
- NVIDIA H100 (80GB): Industry standard for production LLM deployment
- NVIDIA A100 (80GB): Proven reliability, good for 70B+ models
- AMD MI300X (192GB): Highest memory capacity, excellent for largest models
⚡ Pro Tips for Optimization
- Use FP8/INT8: Reduce memory usage by 50-75% with minimal quality loss
- Consider MoE Models: Qwen3-235B-A22B offers flagship performance with 4x H100 (vs 10x for DeepSeek-R1)
- Model Parallelism: Split large models across multiple GPUs
- Mixed Precision: Combine FP16 inference with FP32 gradients for training
- Memory Mapping: Use CPU RAM for model storage, GPU for active layers
