On the desktop I ran it with a 1080ti and got the same results.
I just tried comparing Tensorflow code, and I also got the same results – the desktop was slower than the laptop (checking nvidia-smi to make sure the appropriate GPUs were used). Sorry for the trouble, as this is a PyTorch forum. I’ll go ahead see if I can find my solution from perhaps Nvidia support.
But if anyone has suggestions for solutions or perhaps where I can start to look for solutions, please let me know! Thank you!
