$500 for a modded RTX 2080 Ti with 22GB of VRAM.
That's what AI developers are paying on eBay right now because new GPUs are 50-100% above MSRP.
The RTX 2080 Ti launched in 2018.
It's nearly a decade old.
But with a custom VRAM mod doubling memory from 11GB to 22GB, it's become a budget option for AI inference rigs.
The hardware shortage is forcing developers to get creative.
But there's a simpler option.
RTX 3090s at $0.15/hr.
No modding.
No hardware to maintain.
No upfront cost.
Buy Now Pay Later - zero upfront, pay after 1 month.
