I feel like we're lucky Nvidia even sells consumer GPUs any more. At this point it's just a distraction to them and takes away resources they could be devoting to higher value hardware.

And the data center-class hardware doesn't do well in a home environment. It's not good for gaming. It runs hot and uses a ton of energy. Not to mention, silicon that is running hot 24/7 for years probably isn't the best thing to own second hand.

probably explains why we have "just rent H100 in the cloud, duh" influencers under every hardware building post on hn now

These systems aren’t easily converted into desktop style GPU’s, so it may not trickle down the way we hope

I assume surplus DGX A100 are already out there but they consume kilowatts so enthusiasts can't even plug them in.
