It's not just drivers. I'd line up to buy a a couple 24GB B580s to play around with local AI, but they're only going to be available in workstation systems. When it gets to the point where you're losing, but still won't sell people things they want, I think it's a good indicator that management is just plain dumb.
No. I mean they said they're not selling them directly into retail channels. They're only going to be in workstation machines which are expensive, high end desktops. It would be the same kind of thing you would see with Quadro GPUs.
At least the way I understood it, you won't be able to go to a computer store and buy 24GB cards off the shelf. You'll have to shell out for a workstation class machine which will cost a ton. I'm not talking about a simple desktop. You'll have to buy something like a Lenovo Thinkstation and if you want one with two GPUs it's going to be expensive because they simply won't sell you a lower end machine with 2 GPUs.
