There still is not a path for data center components to be used in your gaming rig. They are not compatible and you can’t really adapt something like RAM I would wager. You’d have to tear off the chips and make new boards.
If a crash dumps hardware on the market, I bet someone will find a way to make use of it.
But I don’t think it will devalue, local models work and are useful, so if most datacenters closed tomorrow, I bet they’d be able to sell that hardware at decent prices to all sorts of companies.
It’s also HBM not DDR or even GDDR in those GPUs. Good luck finding a consumer board that takes those.
The used GPGPU (is that still a term?) server market will have a metric fucktonne of supply I suspect.
Nvidia is already bracing for this. They did a bunch of stock buyback instead of investing that money in anything that could lead to more future sales. 150 billion dollars I believe.

I think if that happens, much stock will be intentionally destroyed before anything like that can happen.
What motivation do people in the DC and AI sector have to fuck with consumer prices? It’s not like NVidia still owns that silicon or something.
