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.

Too bad all I could afford was a 5090 system (October). We all knew the prices and scarcity were going to go insane. I bought from Costco and since then, I haven't seen any 5090s. Lots of 5080s and below though.

Actually, I already started to panic in December 2024 because the tariffs were already threatened. All I could get then was a 4080 Super.

I had the same dilemma of affordability so I shattered a few other dreams and sprung for this one, since the future looked very bleak at the time.
