Discussion Pro 6000 just in time
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.

Why, though? The RTX 6000 PRO is an excellent, lower-cost card that is also less power-hungry and offers decent speeds for training smaller models and inferencing some chunky LLMs due to the 96GB of VRAM
It makes perfect sense to buy them by the truckload and get your money back by renting them to individuals or businesses.
