“4090, hands down… you can play games on it and you can train AI — at least infer — it works really well… 4090 has been popping up a lot; now people want more 4090s than H100s, A100s, because a lot of the papers are mentioning 4090s. I think 4090s is going to be one of those under-the-radar [GPUs] that’s going to pop up and become the most important GPUs. I have a bunch of 4090s at home that are making about $250 — shilling the bags, though; I’m shilling my own bags.” — 00:22:25
Context: Closing “favorite GPU” question. Consumer gaming cards as income-earning AI infrastructure — a signature local-compute data point (captions render “4090” as “490”).
