64GB DGX Spark at the same price as the original 128GB draws Reddit backlash
blacklandothegambler · reddit · 2026-10-06
A Reddit user called out NVIDIA for selling the 64GB DGX Spark variant at the same cost as the original 128GB model, comparing the move to diluting a product and keeping the price — joking it's straight out of The Wire and dubbing the 64GB version "Stepped-ons."
Since memory is the key bottleneck for running local LLMs on DGX Spark, halving capacity at the same price is a real value cut for the device's core audience of local-deployment developers, and the thread reflects broader community frustration with the pricing strategy.
