It's relatively easy to run a small AI engine at home with a proper graphics card

What functions do graphics cards serve to aid algorithms in conjunction with AI?

Please excuse my question, am dumbfounded and dumbstruck in regards to knowledge of subject matter ….. AI

[usconservative]

AI uses functions of a GPU (Graphics Processor) and not a CPU.

I'm not technical enough to explain why, other than to know graphics are processed differently than other compute functions, and as a result are better suited for AI.

The more powerful the GPU, and the more of them, the better AI performs (obviously, "more is better" applies.)

I'm trusting someone else with a better understanding will come along and answer your question better than I can.

Thank You for your response to my question. Please do not disparage your knowledge for IF a rock and myself were placed side by side and gaged for knowledge ….. the rock would be more knowledgeable than me.
