If you can then probably yes. But why would someone else buy them (at the price you want), when they can rent at $2 per hour instead?
- Wytwwww 2y agoI don't think the why matters as long as people are buying them at very high prices, which they seemingly still are.
- bjornsing 2y agoWhat makes you think they are?
- Wytwwww 2y agoNvidia's quarterly income statements?
- TacticalCoder 2y agoI'm not saying NVidia sales are slowing down (the books are complete for quite a while AIUI) but... Where would we hear first about a slowing down in sales? From a NVidia quarterly statement or from the market of renting GPU compute?
- Wytwwww 2y agoUsed GPU prices still seem to be pretty high and availability is low? But yes, if the GPU compute rental market is highly unprofitable (I'm not sure it is, though) while HW prices are still high that indicates a clear inefficiency in the market. Meaning that you should sell ASAP before it self corrects.
