Can we still classify 5090s as consumer hardware given how expensive they are? They're £3k at the moment, and it looks like it's only going to get worse unless the AI bubble pops.

I was thinking more in terms of 24GB of VRAM total. I started sketching the architecture for such a model this afternoon, nothing novel, just combining existing advancements in the field. It looks achievable.
I got an Olares One system with a 24GB (consumer not 32GB) NVIDIA RTX 5090 for less than $3k at the Kickstarter price. It comes with Olares OS which for my purposes is not all that useful, I settled finally on a good Ubuntu 24.04 LTS configuration, but it was a good deal. I actually bought two.
