I'm here from the future to tell you that Scalpers immediately snap these up within 5 minutes of release and resell them for the price of a house.

More than a few gamers buy these to complete their "Dream Builds" so they can run their games at >1000fps.

Price of previous generation DGX stations was $150k for the higher spec build so they already cost as much as a house. No scalper needed.

Hmm, three 12V-2x6 connectors pumping 1800W into the board? The connectors look reasonably close to the GPU but it could get interesting . One of those connectors on the 4090/5090 has caused headaches, how will it fare with three here?

Been working this on the datacenter side with servers with a combination of SXM and PCIe stand up GPUs and on the server side, it's been zero issue. I can't tell you how many tens of thousands of PCIe GPUs i've sent out the door for my customer and not a single failure of a 12v connector so far after about 3 years since the first one went out.

Can the SXM be used for graphical output or is it solely for compute?

SXM cards have zero outputs. Compute only

@KennyRedSocks , not only do they lack display outputs, but they also lack the fixed-function hardware blocks needed for good gaming performance. Volta (of V100 and Titan V fame) was the last 100-series "GPU" to have a full contingent of that stuff.

What I'm getting at is that a modern Nvidia 100's series model wouldn't even be compelling for cloud gaming.
