Questioning the Cost of a Dual-GPU Mod
SnowyOwl72 · reddit · 2026-07-12
The OP is asking whether the image shows two SXM2 GPUs, and whether they are more likely to be V100 or A100 models.
Assuming they are two 32GB V100s, the OP wonders if this bizarre aftermarket baseboard can actually run NVLink, and what the real-world costs, user experience, and pitfalls would be. The goal isn't to replicate the build, but to compare its cost against a similar consumer/gaming console setup.
