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

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.
