- AndroTux 8mo agoThat’s okay by me. I’m ready to buy one or two on the cheap

- ronsor 8mo agoI assure you datacenter GPUs like B200 do fail regularly (within months in many cases), so much so that it's a problem for labs doing large training runs.
- cmxch 8mo agoAs long as they can be made to work in a consumer or homelab setting, they are still useful.
