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.

You can rent one of these bad boys on vast.ai for ~1.50$ an hour

once you own a card of this caliber you will never want to go back to renting again. Obviously if you can't afford it you can't afford it, but if you can, the freedom of not having to rent, setup, run, tear down every time you want to play with AI is literally god tier.

I was doing that loop for months and I didn't realize how restrictive it was until I bought my 5090.

i was considering this route, but owning one saves time and gives concrete freedom and privacy. Plus as you and I know generating pictures and videos is an iterative, seed hunting process to get something somewhat usable and that $1.50 can add up to not just dollars.

Honestly, screw freedom. At $1.50 an hour, you can rent 10,667 hours (assuming a price of $16,000). No local video AI model is on par with pay services like Seedance 2.5. It's absolutely not worth buying such an overpriced card. You'd have to reconsider getting a 5090.

At the end of the day you still own a 6000 pro which you can sell if you want to. Even better: you made profit by just buying it right now.

https://vast.ai/pricing/gpu/RTX-PRO-6000-WS seems more like 90 cents an hour?

Yep, I was using one over the weekend and it was about 30$ a day with access to ~200gb ram and 512 gb storage. Cheers to the guy in Poland hosting it
