  • Building a system that supports two 24GB cards doesn’t have to cost a lot. Boards that can do dual 8x PCI and cases/power that can handle 2 GPUs isn’t very hard. The problem I see past that is you’re running into much more exotic/expensive hardware. AMD Threadripper comes to mind, which is a big price jump.

    Given that the market of people that can afford that is much lower than dual card setups, I don’t feel like we’ll see the lion’s share of open source happening at that level. People tend to tinker on things that are likely to get used by a lot of people.

    I don’t really see this changing much until AMD/Intel come out with graphics cards that bust the consumer card 24GB barrier to compete with Nvidia head on in the AI market. Right now Nvidia won’t do that, as to not compete with their premium priced server cards.
