| If you’re spending $65,000 on this thing, needing two circuits seems like a minor problem |

| they could had gone with the Max-Q version RTX PRO 6000 and only require 120V circuit. 10% performance hit, but half the power. fundamentally, looks like they are shipping consumer off-the-shelf hardwares in a custom box. |

| ▲ | ericd 2 days ago | parent [-] | | Yeah, the other big benefit is that the Max-Q's have blowers that exhaust the hot air out of the box, the workstation cards would each blow their exhaust straight into the intake of the card behind it. The last card in that chain would be cooking, as the air has already been heated up by 1800W, essentially a hair dryer on high. Or could be the server edition 6000s that just have a heatsink and rely on the case to drive air through them, those are 600W cards. |

| The $12,000 one also requires it. |
| |
| ▲ | wat10000 2 days ago | parent | next [-] | | The specs show that it only has one PSU. The docs just say that it has 2 and thus needs two circuits, but I’d guess that was meant to be for the more expensive one. | |

| ▲ | isatty 2 days ago | parent | prev [-] | | Surprisingly affordable but I’m not really interested in the 9070XT. If it shipped with like 4090+ (for a higher price) it’d be more tempting. | | |
