These dirt cheap consumer cards are nowhere near the half million dollar compute cards we can sell as many as we can make to AI data centers.
You get what you pay for.
We are working with numbers in the trillions of dollars now, selling for billions worth of components costing millions.
That RTX 5090 isn't even close to a rounding error to us. So sorry for being a bit sloppy on the quality.
