The tensor and cuda cores between these 2 are not comparable. I don't know what support for libraries mean, CUDA capability versions are rarely relevant for DL and the cards are not very relevant now, let alone 10 years from now when something for their generation might start to get deprecated. You must realize that even if you bought a 4090 on this very day, a product that is soon only coming out, it is going to be obsolete in 2-4 years.

The 3060 is comparable to the 2080. The 2060 is not even comparable to any last gen cards. Obviously the answer is 3060.

All relevant points and appreciate your input. I have other use cases for the GPU on the hypervisor such as VFIO gaming and media transcoding, so while IaaS/cloud TPUs does provide value against deprecation, in my use case it just isn't applicable. The DL capabilities are just one dimension of my assessment. Thanks again.
