The headline is a bit misleading. They are reproposing them as AI cards in China.

I wished that nvidia had allowed AIB manufactures to put at least 16gb on their 4070 cards.

Perhaps the super version may come with it instead.

Gpu’s are being repurposed as Gpu’s!

I think I have two rx580s still. Can I just jam them together in to a monster card?

RX 580 16GB is useless, why? It could never really utilize more than 8GB of VRAM. Far too weak.

AI / machine learning.
