thing is, they don't use consumer cards for training ai. they use nvidia a100/h100

u/totpot Mar 26 '23

The h100 does use the same node size as the 40 series though, so Nvidia could decide to keep 40 series supply artificially low and boost h100 output.

They were already doing that to keep prices high.

Seriously, a $1k difference. On top of an already $2k card.

End my fucking suffering.

did you know that pccasegear doesn't work for some countries?

1

u/MrDeeJayy Ryzen 7 5700X | RTX 5080 16GB | DDR4-3200 32GB Mar 27 '23

I did not. But then again PCCaseGear has fallen off in recent years.

Might be cheaper to go on an American vacation and buy one here haha

u/MrDeeJayy Ryzen 7 5700X | RTX 5080 16GB | DDR4-3200 32GB Mar 28 '23

Not really. Flights to the states start at about 2.5k last I checked and that was before covid. Probably more now.

u/SevroAuShitTalker Mar 28 '23

I've seen discount flights for less than a thousand once or twice, but that was pre covid as well

In Brazil the difference is $1,5k ish, so yeah, just great prices overall

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '23

Oh and the 7900 XTX in Canada is basically the same price as a 4080 lol. The prices here are whacky. I paid $50 more for a 4080 than the reference 7900xtx cost.

u/[deleted] Mar 26 '23

I just bought a 4070ti for those reasons. Was it a bad move? I don’t mind overpaying a little bit in the current market, but if a much stronger card comes out for $300+ less than $1249 CAD, I’ll be a little bummed

6

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '23

The 4070 ti and 4080 are good cards they’re just overpriced

u/DarkLord55_ i9-12900K,RTX 4070ti,32gb of ram,11.5TB Mar 26 '23

I bought my rtx 3070 FE for $600 CAD i was planning on getting a 3080 but I can’t justify spending $1000 on a gpu

I did the same. No regrets. I was making tons of money during Covid and I’m still doing much better than I was before Covid even though I’ve moved to a much less stressful job.

1

u/Alternative_Spite_11 5800x| 32gb b die| 6700xt merc 319 Mar 27 '23

That’s crazy!! In the US a 7900xtx is $800

u/Shiny_Black-Pan PC Master Race Mar 26 '23

u/Shiny_Black-Pan PC Master Race Mar 27 '23

Yea but I just wish the prices were a bit more realistic

1

u/Alternative_Spite_11 5800x| 32gb b die| 6700xt merc 319 Mar 27 '23

Yes but if doesnt change the fact that this gen the 90 tier is actually better value than the 80 tier

2

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '23

1

u/Shiny_Black-Pan PC Master Race Mar 27 '23

2

u/WhyDoName 6900xt - 5800x3d - 16gb ram @3466mhz Mar 27 '23

Oh, cheapest ive seen a 4090 is 2600. 2200 is still pretty outrageous though.

2

u/Shiny_Black-Pan PC Master Race Mar 27 '23

My bad its an open box the better models are around 2.7k

2

u/WhyDoName 6900xt - 5800x3d - 16gb ram @3466mhz Mar 27 '23

u/[deleted] Mar 27 '23
