Not sure how much crypto mining going away affects it though, demand is still there, you just can't buy their cards right now. I've been trying to buy a few rtx 4090s since launch day and it's nowhere to be found.
On the off chance you get to put it in your cart, it either disappears by the time you check out or the order gets voided afterwards. It rarely stays in stock longer than a few mins.
- teach 4y agoYoutuber Moore's Law is Dead claims this is on purpose to allow AIBs to clear out their existing oversupply of 30x0-series cards.
- Bewelge 4y agoI usually don't do this but... AIBs? Google is only giving me Allied Irish Banks. Somehow I feel that's not what you're talking about.
- teach 4y agoYes, apologies! I'm so deep in the AMD/Intel/Nvidia rumor mill I forget how normal humans talk, sometimes. Tech news people tend to use "AIBs" as shorthand for "second-party (add-in) board partners" -- that is, companies that sell graphics cards using AMD or Nvidia GPUs but with their own board and cooler designs. So in the case of Nvidia this would be EVGA, Gigabyte, MSI, Zotac, ASUS, etc. But crucially NOT including Nvidia themselves, even though Nvidia sell their own reference design they call the "Founder's Edition".
- kernelbugs 4y agoThe trick in this case was to search Nvidia AIBs. > Nvidia Add-in Board (AIB) partners ... The list includes Inno3D, MSI, ASUS, Palit, Colorful, PNY
- pooper 4y agoYou'll get reddit if you search aib nVidia https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4pma4q/terminology_all_graphics_cards_are_aib/ https://old.reddit.com/r/Amd/comments/4pma4q/terminology_all... Quote: There seems to be some confusion regarding the acronym AIB, and many are using AIB to refer to 'non reference' graphics card designs. AIB is an acronym for Add In Board as used within the video card industry. The 'graphics' part is implied by the industry context. All Graphics cards are AIB. http://jonpeddie.com/press-releases/details/add-in-board-market-down-in-q2-amd-gains-market-share/ http://jonpeddie.com/press-releases/details/add-in-board-mar... An AIB supplier or an AIB partner is a company that buys the AMD (or Nvidia) Graphics Processor Unit to put on a board and then bring a complete and usable Graphics Card or AIB to market. See AMD's article on Partners (including AIB, OE, System Builder) here: http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDPartnersAIBOESystemBuilder.aspx#AIB http://support.amd.com/en-us/kb-articles/Pages/AMDPartnersAI... The term AIB has absolutely nothing to do with what ports are available, the design of the pcb, or the cooler design. AIB literally just means "it's a graphics card".
- svnt 4y agoThe distinction I believe is made to except the cards where Nvidia does design and manufacturing — e.g. Founders Edition.
- Tuna-Fish 4y agonVidia themselves have a ton of inventory. $4.5B of it at the end of quarter, very close to +100% YoY.
- EugeneOZ 4y agoWhy you need a few of them? GPU mining is completely dead. Try different countries - there will be delivery cost, but it will not be so comparable to the price.
- ftufek 4y agoFor machine learning, self funding my startup and can't afford the expensive server grade gpus. Other countries are usually above msrp + shipping + import tax, would be cheaper to buy from a scalper.
- belval 4y agoDepending on the country you could try to find a hardware swap subreddit. Mining RTX 3090 (not the one that you mentioned but still) often go for <1000 CAD so you could get 2.5 RTX 3090 for each RTX 4090 you wanted.
- ftufek 4y agoThere are plenty of 3090s on craigslist as well, fairly common to find below 800$, but 4090s are more power efficient and it's easier to manage a single rig with 7 gpus than trying to network 2 rigs with 14 gpus total. It's also faster for inference without any model change.
