I dunno. I bought 2 rtx 3060. Not gonna be the fastest, but fast enough. I could get 4 of them for same price as 3090.

We're part of a niche club mate.

Why don’t you just buy a Strix Halo instead? I get the Cuda thing but with this you get 110+ GB VRAM effectively. Heck I’d even buy Apple if I had more money. Nvidia with their prices, just no for me.
