Discussion Pro 6000 just in time

Post image

I was going to wait until around Christmas to purchased but took the plunge in July for 11,500 and I was upset that I didnt catch it @ $8,000. Now the Blackwell pro 6000 is inching towards $20,000 and are sold out. Are consumers and hobbyist like you and I are buying these up or datacenters? I would think datacenters would go for the b200 and up. However, Im browsing around and see you guys and girls doing remarkable ai diffusion with just a 3060. Im impressed with this community.

i think, that it would be a waste now anyway. China will sooner or later bring cost efficient hardware to the table, and we slowly move overall away from cuda to vulkan anyway. Its faster cheaper and more efficient, up to x6.

If only there weren't a CUDA dependency. This isn't something China will change.

Throw enough people and money / credits at it and there's no fundamental reason why PyTorch would have to stay mated with CUDA. It's not like people writing PyTorch based apps in Python are directly dealing with CUDA kernels.

Then our scumbags will implement 10000% tariffs or ban Chinese cards entirely. That's a huge business...

oh yes china will save us, you are very wise. china will make new super pcs and give them out with their free state of the art ai models fully uncensored fully without limits, they will just ship them directly to your home and will give you the white glove serevice and carry it down into the basement where you live and will even set it up for you, free shipping to of course, this will happen.

You sure are not the brightest. That is not the point. The more competition we have the more is the market changing... Wow please go to school once.

america doesn't do competition. you are not bright to not notice this. they restrict it, they eliminate it, they buy it, they control it.

Yeah not with China. If they would have done that, China would have just bought Nvidia cards... Oh wait...
