Keeping with the trend of being influenced by https://diskprices.com, I wanted to make a resource for GPUs on eBay that also take into account a performance metric I tend to look at when checking GPUs.
It's still a work in progress, but it's at a state where I think some of HN might find it useful!
There are a few things that I have planned to add in the coming day(s): 1. Filters for compatible slots and connectors 2. Expand for different eBay regions, rather than just US focus
Let me know if you have any questions or want more / different filters on the page or if I missed something important.
And, up to you, but doing money math with floats is a well known road-to-ruin: "price_with_shipping": 18.990000000000002,
I suppose I'm living up to the username! I do know how to write decent programs and in other languages, but I'm just so much faster when bodging.
I'm thinking of making similar website for more things, in which case I'd clean up the architecture a bit, but my exams are in a few months and this hasn't been particularly successful so we'll see. I probably shouldn't be spending my weekends programming right now :)
Let me know if this helps!
I'm also going to improve the backend a bit to filter out broken GPUs
1. How can a post with 9 upvotes and 1 comment be number 1 on HN
2. How can a post with so few metrics of engagement be hugged to death.
The first is likely due to the late hour - time is a factor in the HN algorithm and with fewer people interacting with content the bar for getting the number 1 spot is much lower.
The second is probably attributable to the myriad clients using the HN API to scrape content from links shared here or the likely large population of HN users who engage with content but neither comment nor upvote.
Not if it's a brand-new 2024 account and the first sale is an ultra-high-demand NVIDIA graphics card with high VRAM.
Apologies about the item being sold, the list is only updated every 4 hours at the moment. With additional API access (waiting to hear back!), I would be able to get a tighter loop on updating the list so everything is currently available.
This is technically possible, but for ~3,000 products, checking on an hourly basis would make ~72,000 requests per day -- which definitely would get flagged, I think.
Finally upgraded in 2024 for $600.
I get maybe 2x the FPS, in the same games at the same settings.
What gives? I thought GPU compute had massively fallen in price.
GPUs have advanced a lot more in tensor computation and GPGPU than in pushing pixels onto a screen
What's your scraping process?
I suspect it would be meaningful to parametrically filter these inop edge cases out by default.
Currently waiting to hear on upgrade to 1.5m. But 5k works for now!

Your connection is working correctly.
Vercel is working correctly.
If you're interested in large language models there's a table of vram requirements for fine-tuning at [1] which says you could do the most basic type of fine-tuning on a 7B parameter model with 8GB VRAM.
You'll find that training takes quite a long time, and as a lot of the GPU power is going on training, your computer's responsiveness will suffer - even basic things like scrolling in your web browser or changing tabs uses the GPU, after all.
Spend a bit more and you'll probably have a better time.
