Thousands of GeForce RTX 4090 transformed into AI accelerators.

This is the reason why you can’t find ones in your local best buy. They are paying premium for it. But it indeed is very helpful, if I can get my hand on a few for my build.

    I’m sick of Nvidia’s VRAM business model

    At the top end, they are actually limited by how much they can physically hang off the die (48GB for current silicon, or 196GB(?) for the interposer silicon).

    But yeah, below that its price gouging. What are ya gonna do, buy an Arc?

    AMD is going along with this game too. You’d see a lot more 7900s on this sub, and on GitHub, if AMD let their manufacturers double up the VRAM to 48GB.
