    These GPUs are useless outside of data centers anyway. Take the current gen, the B200. No DirectX or Vulkan support or even OpenGL I believe. Power usage about a kilowatt. SXM rather than PCI-E so it’s not like you can run it on a desktop motherboard.

    They’re literally e-waste after a few years. And they’re 40-50k per GPU, but often bought as a full system with 8 GPUs in it, for a couple hundred thousand.
