Showerthought: swapping a $400 GPU for a $300 used one and honestly, cloud was the loser
So last month I messed with running a small image upscaler locally on a 3060 versus renting cloud time through RunPod, and the home card won by a mile, mostly because my electric bill barely moved and I wasn't paying by the minute. The cloud run cost me $12 in two hours, which added up fast when I kept tweaking settings. But the local setup chokes on anything past 4K, so now I'm stuck. Which way would you go if your card only has 12GB?
