Agree. It's a terrible time to want a new Nvidia card for gaming or AI projects. I had a 4070 Ti Super in my cart for a while at a cool $700 on Amazon - now it's out of stock and secondhand I can find it for double that now. If one doesn't require the latest DLSS or need first-class AI support, get an AMD card.

Thankfully the ONNX runtime supports AMD's ROCm. The performance is nowhere close to Nvidia's TensorRT, but doing inference on an AMD GPU is doable. I haven't ran the numbers, but I wouldn't be surprised if you could get more throughput per dollar on an AMD GPU for at least some scenarios. AFAIK there aren't any great options for training though, so if you want to do anything besides running ONNX models your options are limited.

Nvidia has lost the hearts and minds - I'm not just not interested in or excited by anything Nvidia - there's a baseline expectation of their products being overpriced and aimed at stiffing the customer. An outcome of greed.

honestly, seeing a company that craps so hard on a core customer group still succeed THAT much just because of some random trends is just sad. and yet people are still willing and continue to vote with their wallets (as the comment below was proving). what a mess

They're really the luckiest bastards lol. First crypto, then the "AI" craze...

DGX Spark only has 273 GB/s memory bandwidth?! Massive disappointment, this is just on par with Framework's desktop PC.

That's what everybody was predicting based on the memory technology and the pictures. I'm just glad to hear about DGX Station, though I doubt I'll be able to afford one.

success is the combination of luck and preparation. NVIDIA has been well prepared + anticipating deep learning to take off for a long while.

Yep, all 10 they shipped sold instantly at 2x MSRP. Prices on 3090's (not a typo) are going up ffs, because there is nothing out there on the NVIDIA front.

This is sick. Lucky I kept mine https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=42618996
