Nvidia will stop price gouging you for their cards and features when you stop buying them. (lemmy.one)

Sorry if I'm not the first to bring this up. It seems like a simple enough solution.

Why would datacenters be buying consumer grade cards? Nvidia has the A series cards for enterprise that are basically identical to consumer ones but with features useful for enterprise unlocked.

    I think you mean their Tesla line of cards? The A (e.g. A100) stands for the generation name (e.g. Ada or Ampere, don't remember which one got the A), and that same name applies to both the consumer line (GeForce and Quadro) and the data's centre cards.

    The hardware isn't identical either. I don't know all the differences, but I know at least that the data centre cards have SXM connectors that greatly increase data throughput.
