How much if a discount are you expecting to start gaming on a 30k card with no video output?

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Not for gaming, for running AI open source models and other AI shenanigans. My 4080 Super has been filling my gaming needs and will for years to come, but it's not enough for my AI interests lol

The most I can get out of this 4080 is running a ~7B param model, but I want to run cooler shit like that new open source DeepSeek v3 that dropped the other day.

So you're waiting for the AI bubble to burst because you can't wait to run all the cool new AI models?

Yea, the underlying tech is what interests me and I have a few potential use cases. Use cases that I would never entrust a random company with. For example, the concept of MS recall is cool, I'd never trust Microshits implementation though. But an open source local version that I'm in control of all the security implementations? Hell yea lol

That's the problem. If the use case is super cool, and 99% of people have no knowledge (or motivation) to set it up for themselves, the online services will keep existing, and the bubble won't really burst.

Even if some single companies fail (and they will, there some truly horrendous ideas getting funding), the big players will buy the GPUs wholesale before they hit ebay.
