Thank you for your response; definitely leaning towards the 3060 once 4XXX are released. I enjoy finding the best value and using refurbished enterprise tech, so this is right up my alley. The Tesla series has crossed my mind a couple times for another project, but unfortunately for this project the 2U rack has some serious space limitations so I have to count that out. Thanks again!

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.
