- GPUs
- While a CPU-only node may be able to keep up with the initial idling network, once transaction throughput increases, GPUs will be necessary
- What kind of GPU?
- We recommend Nvidia 2080Ti or 1080Ti series consumer GPU or Tesla series server GPUs.
- We recommend Nvidia Turing and volta family GPUs 1660ti to 2080ti series consumer GPU or Tesla series server GPUs.
- We do not currently support OpenCL and therefore do not support AMD GPUs. We have a bounty out for someone to port us to OpenCL. Interested? [Check out our GitHub.](https://github.com/solana-labs/solana)
- Power Consumption
- Approximate power consumption for a validator node running an AMD Threadripper 2950W and 2x 2080Ti GPUs is 800-1000W.
