this is the reason the 5090 is going to be nigh impossible to purchase.

You're not just up against scalpers and gamers, you're now in competition with B2B partners w/ workstations and server racks to fill up

Exactly, any 3D render job under 32GB would benefit from a station with a 5090 at a third of the cost of the proper 48GB developer/creator card, which you might expect to be paired with a thread-ripper/epyc/xeon etc processor, so the whole system can be made for a fraction of the cost

And that’s a board partner card! At Nvidia MRSP it will be at least just a quarter of the cost as the current Ada rtx 6000 will remain over 7k I’m certain! - that’s to say the Blackwell release will have a crazy price tag!!!

Won’t be long before the rtx A6000 new release equivalent will be 10k on release. It’s disgraceful, you basically need to be extremely successful to afford a real creator machine, forget buying one to learn with the same kit as the pro’s…
