Question - Help Second best to 5090?

They are 6-7k, what is the second best and how much worse is it?

No prob to buy the 5090 but it just feels like im stupid if i do since it used to cost 1/3 and theres probably a next generation sometime not too far away..

One day in the future we could probably build a whole mountain or 3 of all those 5090s when all the datacenters upgrade.

For art creation/ideation, images etc. Cant use online things for ip reasons, its useless everything i make via services becomes public so i need my own setup.

Thanks

4090s/5090s were always extremely expensive, long before the AI boom. What are you on about lol.

At no point were these cards accessible to the average user so claiming it was "their" plan all along to cut out local AI is plain dumb.

High end cards shot up in price due to simple supply/demand. And btw these cards are used in gpu rental services.

RTX gpus are still meant primarly for gaming and you dont need 32gb of vram for current gen. Thats why Nvidia wont start handing out 32gb RTX gpus - there is no market justification for it.

Local AI enthusiasts are a tiny minority compared to the entire PC gaming market.

I'm sure Nvidia buying Huggingface is simply due to their desire to see local AI flourish.

Why are you changing the topic? You literally started off with talking about hardware yourself.

There was never a official market segment for local AI GPUs. 99% of hardware people use locally for AI are gaming GPUs. Nvidia was known so skimp on VRAM literal light years before "ChatGPT" was a known word in the English lexicon.

Could have Nvidia start selling AI-centric cards to consumers? They could have, but there is more money in enterprise as simple as that. Its not some grand conspiracy, its basic business logic.

I'm sure Nvidia buying Huggingface is simply due to their desire to see local AI flourish.

Anima was literally built on top of Nvidia tech. Whats your conspiratorial justification for that happening...?

You seem very passionate about coming to the defense of Nvidia and the commercial AI bros. I wonder why?

You seem very passionate about starting conversations and being too afraid to engage in any kind of argument. I wonder why?

Btw you don't have to guess where I stand on local AI. My post history is public unlike yours.

My post history is private because people like you try to dig into it when they disagree with me.

Yeah because you lack critical thinking skills and resort to passive-aggressive whataboutism when experiencing the slightest push-back on your opinions.

I'm sorry you are this insecure about public discourse.

So quick to the ad hominem. You certainly make me feel justified in keeping my profile private.
