Used 3090 are going for ~600usd these days (at least in Europe) thanks to crypto mining crash - building a workstation with 2 of these is fairly easy for 48GB of vram, with 4 a bit more tricky but still doable and affordable IMO

Recently bought 24GB 3090 for $700 in US. Used but never tweaked, runs stable for 6 months despite heavy workloads.

nVidias play seems obvious. Game graphics don’t move that fast these days. Used market flush with 3090s and down is fine to them while they focus on extracting top dollar from fast moving AI researchers/VCs
