A student starting a Data Science and AI Master's program seeks advice on choosing GPUs for a budget AI rig. The options are dual Tesla T10 16GB (200 EUR each, 400GB bandwidth) or dual AMD Mi50 16GB (175 EUR each, 1TB bandwidth). The user plans to build a cheap X99 Xeon system to support PCIe 3.0 x16 for experimenting with Tensor Parallelism. Concerns include the Mi50's double power draw versus its higher bandwidth. The user requests community experience, especially with the T10.
