> A Nvidia Geforce RTX 3060 card with "only" 12Gb VRAM can be found around €200-250 on second hand market

1080Ti might even be a better option, it also has a 12gb model and some reports say it even outperforms the 3060, in non-rtx I presume.

CUDA compute version is a big deal. 1080ti is 6.1. 3060 is 8.6. It also has tensor cores.

Note that CUDA version numbers are confusing, the compute number is a different thing than the runtime/driver version.

Not sure what used prices are like these days but the Titan XP (similar to the 1080 ti) is even better
