Verdict
NVIDIA L40
8.6 / 10 Expert Rating
A versatile data center GPU that genuinely splits the difference between graphics and AI workloads - since replaced by the L40S for AI-heavy deployments but still a strong all-rounder.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090 Ti
9 / 10 Expert Rating
A solid flagship pick if its price and 24GB VRAM allocation match your target resolution.
