I doubt any big, mainstream western corporations would use GeForce cards for AI, even if they have the same amount of vRAM as workstation cards (and they'd never have the same memory as AI-specific cards such as the H100). Hobbyists will for sure, but they make up such a tiny portion of the market that I doubt it would change the overall demand. Chinese and Russian companies will, I guess, but I don't think that would have the same effect as crypto mining, which has immediate returns without any expertise for individual users, unlike AI applications.
Plenty of people using 4090s tho
Exactly, even though Nvidia removed NVLink it’s still a popular card for deep learning coz it’s relatively cheap for small labs.
NVLink died because PCIE Gen5 can handle incorrect now, no external hardware needed.
PCIe 5.0 cannot do what NVLink does, and NVLink isn’t dead at all.

The RTX A6000 ADA also drops nvlink. No idea why the downvotes
