Hello everyone. Long time first time. I've been using BI at home for about 9 years now. I'm adding a second system to a small commercial building I own. 4 cameras, nothing crazy. I'm looking into the AI in BI6 which I do not have at home, but will have at my commercial building. I'm trying to figure out what kind of GPU these days would work fairly well for this system. I'm pretty uneducated in the world of AI. I used deep stack on my home server for a little while, but I was using my CPU and I live way out in the country and it just picked up bugs so I quit using it years ago. I'm seeing years old posts of folks using the GTX 10 series cards for AI processing, is that still the route to go? I appreciate your help!
GPU Recommendation

With a decent CPU, an expensive and inefficient GPU isn't needed for 4 cameras as the CPU version would be fine.
But if new cameras, why not use the AI in the cameras instead?

Getting comfortable
The CPU can certainly handle a 4 Cam load on AI.
You can try a Gtx 1060 or 1070, I've used both, have both laying around gathering dust.
I have the Nvidia 1070ti Founders edition to part with, I can't run it in the Optiplex 9020 because of proprietary PSU limitations.
What CpU are you going to be running?
A 4th Gen or newer Intel could run that, but for Windows 11 you need 8th Gen intel or higher.
and as we speak, I deselected the the GPU and switched to the Intel UHD 630 "on chip" graphics in AI tab of Settings.
I will check it in the morning to see how its doing. Running 15 Cameras ( when did I get to 15?-Jeezuz, I must be some kinda addict)
I was running a test machine, ( Optiplex 9020/Win 10 Pro/i5-4590/32GB ram/EVGA-GTX1060 6GB/, and it could handle AI on 3-4 cams, in a 12 cam system. anymore and it stammered and stuttered.
I have a 3060Ti in here now, and do use photoshop, and you tube, and other Software that can use the extra graphics power.
I don't mind the extra heat from under my desk from now until next May. Lower level of Split level, 1/2 basement( cool in Winter)
