Well, I want a 2-slot RTX 40 series Titan that would be useful for both gaming and light ML, but this thingy at $6000 is really not it.

- binarymax 4y agoRTX 40 series doesn't support NVLink, so sadly it's not an option. Pretty sure this was a strategic exclusion by Nvidia to make sure you couldnt get cheaper cards and link them together for parallel compute, and instead push these more expensive prosumer cards.
- bick_nyers 4y agoYup. They started this transition away from NVLINK in the same generation in which they introduced their tensor cores. It's part of their ML profit strategy. There's really nothing you can do outside of soldering on higher capacity RAM chips onto a 4090. There are some 20GB 3080 cards floating around out there.
- squeaky-clean 4y agoMaybe they just want one slimmer card for an itx build? All the 40xx announcements from nvidia were 3-slot cards.
- jitl 4y agoYeah I can’t replace the 1080 Ti I have with any of the 40xx cards in my DAN A4.1 case. They’re all quoted as a little bit too big. And with EVGA out, who is gonna make a quiet card for me?
- LegitShady 4y agomost of the 4080/90 cards shown so far are 3 slots at least. I think there was one 2.5 slot card.
