$5K is presumably what it costs to pay some local gangsters to break into an nVidia warehouse. That's the only you will pay $5K for an RTX 6000 for the next couple of years.

The server edition has gone up $2K in the last couple of weeks alone, at the outlet where I bought one previously.

Man... Does it mean that buying RTX 6000 for 10k today is actually becoming an investment?
