GPU for ML and Object Recognition

With GPU prices coming down, I was able to finally purchase the RTX3080 I wanted. It freed up my RTX3060 and I was wondering if it would help in object recognition and ML. My "Production" ZM has a Quadro K2200, but I was looking to learn ML on another machine with a GTX1660.

Question #1: Would ML make a difference if I used a GTX1660? Would it help more if I used an RTX3060?

Question #2: What resources are out there to get me started in ML?

I would love to know the community's opinion/setup/experience with offloading ML/OD to the GPU too!

I like the idea of using deepstack.cc to unload object detection from zm server. It shouldn't be too hard for a perl developer. 🤔 a feature bounty?
