May be able to cop a used iMac for around $300-350

Apple iMac 21.5" (Late 2012)
Intel Core i5-3335S @ 2.7Ghz processor.
1TB HD.
8GB RAM.
Nvidia GeForce GT 640M 512MB Video Card.


Worth it?

you can already run 4k with what you have, it just wont be max settings

so if you just wanna "look" to see how it is first then do that. also, what monitor/tv is it?

You're better off getting a new motherboard and getting a Ryzen CPU. AM4 is going to be supported until 2020. 7700k is like $300+ now. Or do that with an 8600k.

I guess that "110 teraflops" is just some Tensor Performance (Deep Learning) bullshyt. the actual number is 13.8 teraflops (Titan Xp is 12.1)
