What makes this worse than the financial crisis of 2008 is that you can’t live in a GPU once the crash happens.
And if you can - they’ll make sure they own your uploaded ass & are gonna make you solve AI prompts all day.
They should have invested in a boat if they had to have a depreciating asset
Or maybe a submarine. Now there’s an investment plan that has only benefited society.
My only hope for this is that the GPUs in these CDO spiritual successors become dirt cheap afterwards.
They hopefully will, since the end of the AI bubble will kill AI for good and crash GPU demand.
Somebody gotta adapt them to boards with actual video outputs tho
Not really, there are methods to use an iGPU as your display out but do the rendering on a dedicated card. GPU Passthrough.
There are also methods for using two GPUs even from different OEMs to increase framerate, see Lossless Scaling (windows).
There’s gotta be at least two nVidia engineers who have a board planned out for that just as a hobby project they wanted to benchmark.
Very true. I think one of the possible low-key outcomes of the bubble is a rise both in open-source driver hacking and manufacture-on-demand PCBs to accommodate what would otherwise be high-dollar e-waste.
isn’t openai silicon breaking all the time because it’s so overheated? so they have to replace it a lot of the time? maybe it’s only good for some months
Or their cooling design stinks, or they/Nvidia are just telling the fab we don’t care about yields, just send us everything that powers on and we’ll figure out which ones are good in production
it’s sorta impressive that they’re treating their hardware worse than cryptobros then
I have tasted the glory of max graphics settings and God as my witness I shall again!
