A Blank check to nvidia will get you a spot in their buying invitation raffle.
Wasn't the ADA edition like $6k or so?
Good luck finding it for less than $9K, and it has half the VRAM, and older chip. I predict MSRP of no less than $15K, with IRL prices above $20K.

Send the bill to my manager
It still has to compete with renting an actual professional card(s).
These are workstation cards and a lot of professionals need them to do other work than ML. The elitist attitude is pretty amusing, though.
It's not elitist. The Nvidia 'pro' cards (quadro etc.) have always been a slightly unlocked, wildly more expensive version of the consumer cards. The v100, a100, h100 are meaningful hardware upgrades to the consumer line.

I need more frames in CS2.
Whatever your profession is mate but I hate to break it to you the 6000 series is usually 20% slower in gaming performance than the best consumer card of the generation.
