Just when Cyberpunk gets almost bug-free, the price for a decent Gpu to run it smoothly is skyrocketing. #doooh

    > RTX Pro 6000 Blackwell has 96GB of GDDR7 VRAM
A mac studio with 96GB unified memory costs, $5,299.00.

LLMs can re-write and cross-translate software really well. Why does CUDA still have a $11k price premium?

MiroslavPokorny•46m ago
Because a lot of people are buying them at that price.

The Blackwell is going to be a lot faster for the same memory capacity than a Mac Studio, surely?

You can get 5-10x the perf out of the blackwell under the right workloads. It has faster VRAM (> 2x) and can do a lot more matmuls (>> 10x).

They're both good value (or crazy expensive) depending on how you look at it.

It depends how you price the ability to run a particular model at all, vs run the model quickly and serve several parallel streams.
