You're probably better off with the incoming B60 which has 24GB vram.

There’s a 48GB B60 already [1] but it’s definitely a significant amount more than 3X B50 pro (you obviously get way better performance).

Kind of. It's more two 24gb b60s in a trenchcoat. It connects to one slot but it's two completely separate gpus and requires the board to support pcie bifurcation.

And lanes. My board has two PCIe x16 slots fed by the CPU, but if I use both they'll only get x8 lanes each. Thus if I plugged two of these in there, I'd still only have two working GPUs, not four.

Four of these together should, in the abstract, let you run 200GB models, which is where things get very, very interesting.

The biggest Deepseek V2 models would just fit, as would some of the giant Meta open source models. Those have rather pleasant performance.

In theory, how feasible is that?

I feel like the software stack might be like a Jenga tower. And PCIe limitations might hit pretty hard.

I'm confused by this line on that page, can anyone explain what they mean?

Edit: I guess must just be a bad translation or sloppy copywriting, and they mean it's not for just spreadsheets rather than it is...

No good if the cost is identical to a 5090.

[adgjlsfhk1]

good news! it's $1200, so roughly half price of a 5090

I’d like to know where, since Maxsun has pointed to a US distributor that had a $2999 order price for the B60 dual.
