Unfortunately the ones used in AI data centers aren’t useful for gaming. So yeah, probably could buy one for ⅓ the price of new, but couldn’t use it for gaming and likely still wouldn’t be able to afford it because of:
NVIDIA H200 (Blackwell architecture) – The latest flagship (late 2023), with upgraded ~141 GB HBM3e and other Hopper improvements. It provides ~50% performance uplift over H100 in many tasks on the same power envelope. Pricing is said to be only modestly above H100. For instance, a 4-GPU H200 SXM board is listed at about $170K (versus $110K for 4×H100) ([2]) ([20]). A single H200 (NVL version) is quoted at around $31,000–32,000 ([21]). NVIDIA’s data center system NVDIMMs for H200 (DGX B200) reflect these prices, though bulk deals may apply.


Not mutually exclusive.

Specifically, German culture between 1933 and 1945.


Was hoping to at least break even 😔

Hope that we get cheaper prices when the bubble pops, this artificial scarcity sucks.
Not likely. Why would they give up money?


Wonder if the guy in the article is in the US. Tariffs would probably explain the extra $200 price difference.


Probably because everyone else is a poorly written chatbot
I’m on Garuda, so I just type
sudo update
I can still type out pacman -Syu, but nice that I don’t have to.
some sadistic fucks would get richer?
Yes, this is why. Welcome to the machine.


Revanced manager just installs it. You can do it manually, but it’s way less of a faff to use the manager, it keeps everything up to date as well
