64k for 4 cards... another 30k for the rest of the system.
That's absurd. Nvidia should be giving away a compatible system at these prices!
Seriously, so many folks have no clue how true this is, and I think about it every time I post one of these "price hike" articles, but also why I said "However, NVIDIA, which has long projected epic profits from AI, is poised to reap rewards regardless of customer bases..." in this post.
That’s an incredible price for a single GPU, although the 96GB of GDDR7 makes it clear that NVIDIA is targeting professional AI, rendering, simulation, and other demanding workloads rather than regular consumers. For businesses that actually need that much VRAM, the performance and capacity may justify the cost, but smaller companies will probably look for more affordable alternatives. The bigger concern is what these price increases mean for the wider workstation and AI hardware market. If enterprise GPU prices continue climbing, it could make AI development and high end computing significantly more expensive for smaller businesses and independent developers.
This actually increases value for the AI centers. Why spend so much money on expensive AI servers to run your LLM's and process/generate/whateverthetermis, when you can just pay for the tokens you consume. It's so cheap right now... Heck you probably have x millions budgeted for AI development... do that with us!
