Local AI clustering with Dell’s Pro Max GB10 — connecting two Nvidia Grace Blackwell to scale out AI compute at home
Local AI clustering with Dell’s Pro Max GB10 — connecting two Nvidia Grace Blackwell to scale out AI compute at home

We paired up and tested a pair of Dell’s Pro Max with GB10, to see what a small cluster of Nvidia’s Spark silicon can do. At $6332 each, as of writing, it’s still an expensive prospect, but far cheaper and more desk-friendly than a big server box full of GPUs and the other necessary high-end hardware.

Modders have discovered a method to monitor every single memory module on Nvidia’s GeForce RTX 50-series (codenamed Blackwell) graphics cards.

Nvidia RTX 50 Super GPUs are reportedly ready, but stuck in limbo due to excessive GDDR7 pricing — 3GB GDDR7 module costs triple the price of 2GB

The 3GB GDDR7 chips that the RTX 50 Super GPUs will use reportedly cost twice to thrice as much as the 2GB chips found on vanilla RTX 50-series graphics cards. This would likely push the retail price of these GPUs way beyond Nvidia’s target MSRP.
