Thin_Pollution8843 · reddit · 2026-08-18
The author lists server-grade GPUs expected to hit the secondary market between 2026-2027, focusing on PCIe options. Highlights include the AMD Instinct MI210 with 64GB HBM2e and NVIDIA L40/L40S with 48GB GDDR6. High-end options like the H100 PCIe are also noted. The author is pessimistic about non-PCIe cards like MI250/X due to software support barriers. The MI210 is currently overpriced but would be a stellar value at $2k.
