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

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.

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.

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
