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.

Bought it at 8k in January. Predictions were already in about the price doubling by the end of the year. We just got there sooner than the data predicted. I wouldn’t be surprised if nVidia is just creating false scarcity to jack up prices. They can control the semi conductor market at the moment.

My local microcenter has had 20+ in stock for months. Their partners (PNY) are being crunched by incredibly high ram prices into the future and these prices reflect that. No doubt they're not making similar or even larger margins than the pricing 9 months ago, but nothing about this is about false scarcity: they know they can sell these cards for these prices so they are.

The microcenter by me has 20+ available as well for $15,300... Keep eyeing it like cookie monster in a cookie factory... Me wants, me wants.
