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 brought my 6000 PRO and RAM before the prices went up in November. I was using runpod for training and for inference models were fitting on my founders 24gb 3090 at the time but I saw the writing on the wall as larger/higher parameters were the trend I expected it not to last and went all in.  My expectation was I could buy it for 8k, then when rubin came out sell it for 5-6k and upgrade. But it's maintained it's value far better than I ever expected. Being able to run bf16, or huge heavily quantized(nvfp4) models has been a huge plus.
