I’m really curious how this affects the consumer GPU market over the next few years. Sure, there has been a GPU shortage for a few years now but if this continues, there should be an absolute surplus of obsolete-gen enterprise GPUs flooding the market, right? Any ideas what limitations and benefits these cards might have for an enthusiast?

I feel like we're lucky Nvidia even sells consumer GPUs any more. At this point it's just a distraction to them and takes away resources they could be devoting to higher value hardware.

And the data center-class hardware doesn't do well in a home environment. It's not good for gaming. It runs hot and uses a ton of energy. Not to mention, silicon that is running hot 24/7 for years probably isn't the best thing to own second hand.

These systems aren’t easily converted into desktop style GPU’s, so it may not trickle down the way we hope

I assume surplus DGX A100 are already out there but they consume kilowatts so enthusiasts can't even plug them in.
