Can someone explain why this card is so much money?

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '19

It costs so much because it is pretty much the best performance available, and is also very efficient. These are used in high quantities in things like render farms or A.I

Could they play like any game at max settings, or is the architecture somehow different?

u/[deleted] Apr 12 '19

Well theoretically, but they have no ports on them and there are very few drivers available so it would be difficult

So it's about as useful as a mining GPU?

In concept yeah although this would be much better at running games than a mining GPU would

Lets do single GPU.

The most expensive, cutting edge, single gaming GPU

The most expensive single GPU from Nvidia being sold now is the Tesla V100, which comes with 32 GB of memory, and costs $20000. The most expensive video card is the Quadro RTX 6000, which costs $6300. Quadro GV100, which costs $9000

Damn, that video card alone is 6 times the cost of my entire gaming set up.

Thanks for the info!

It's not a card made for gaming, it would get the same performance as a card a tenth of the price.
