Where is he; did he die?
 
He also had about 8 various versions of the 2080ti, Titan rtx cards etc etc...never seen a single person spend so much on cards on here before or since.

He also complained long and hard about Nvidia's pricing, the power consumption, the impact on the environment when the 3090 cards were released. That people should vote with their wallet and not buy them. Then He buys 4 of of them. And when the 3090TI came out, he bought multiples of that card too.
 
Titans came with extra functionality and support that the gaming cards didn't. It's not quite fair to compare an xx90 as a titan. It's not apples to apples.

Only the first two Titans had extra functionality(Titan and Titan Black). The rest of the Titans up to the Titan V were just normal GPUs.

With the release of the Titan V they restored the extra functionality but moved the Titan line into professional class cards.

There was also Titan z with full compute unlocked, but thats essentially 2x TB.

Ahh OK. I was under the impression that the gens that didn't have extra hardware functions, had separate drivers that allowed extra function.

Madness. He's not been on here since May 2023.

Its not black & white. As much as they want to milk the AI now while its still possible, they cannot just let go of another market segment. They need to diversify streams of income to exist in the long term.

They're not - we'll be getting the off cuts, from the 5090 down it's the lowest quality silicon

Not how fabrication works, maybe after selling B100, B200, and GB200 for 2-3 years they may accumulate enough failed dies of the same physical size to put into a SKU like they did very occasionally in the past, but outside of that wafers are fabricated for specific dies.

Yet all the company’s buying this stuff are not turning a profit on AI, even open AI which has been one of the more successful players are set to lose 5b this year and that could treble by to a 15b loss by 2026.
