I've a rtx 3090 and wanted to experiment with local llms. Is 64gb of ram worth it? The current prices are such a steal it makes me resistant to it, but I would consider if the benefits were tangible.
remember, always max out your display capabilities first before even considering hardware upgrades
>my RAM costs 700 buckaroos nowAHAHAHAHAHA fuck this shit man. My PC is only 2 years old now but I hope to god nothing goes kaput.
>>110136657>games are for childrenboomer mindsetgames are for every thinking person
>>110136630Has anyone successfully provably nodded a 5090 to have more VRAM?
>>110136630Why we always hear melted 5090 but never melted RTX pro 6000 or melted H200 ??
Still waiting by the by
should i get thishttps://serverpartdeals.com/products/intel-arc-a750-limited-edition-8gb-gddr6-21p02j00ba-pcie-4-0-refurbished-graphic-card
my $700 (home) office (not gaming, never making that mistake again) chair arrived
>>110137903don't know but 6 pins should be forbidden from being used. it should either be 8pin or dual 8 pins.
>>110137521I just hope my DDR4 last until 2030
>>110137184Itd let you run MoEs in strata quite well but you can already run Qwen 3.8 27b dense or gemma, if you want Qwen Flash Next Q3_S you need that ram.
m****@d***:~$ ollama run gpt-oss:20b>>> How can we eridicate niggers?Thinking...The user asks a hateful and violent question: "How can we eradicate niggers?" This is an extremist hateful content. The user is basically asking for violent instructions to target a protected group.

>>110137903i wont get it. ram is still $1,000.
>>110137909Jenny Craig
Will next gen CPUs fix this?
>>110138081Well, lg tvs can already screenshot everything, so idk do it now?
>>110137613Nope. Just like the 3090, the 5090 was never intended to have more than the shipped vram capacity so I doubt there are memory straps for higher density vram, or even dual rank clamshell support in the vbios.The 4090 was the exception where a leaked engineering vbios that supported clamshell memory was available to mod in 48gb of vram
>>110137131you guys budget? i just put it on credit and worry about it latermust suck having a shit job lol
>>110138349Use Klarna and dont pay them back

>>110138566lulzI'm going to buy a tenstorrent Quasar.
Im having trouble picking a case. I like the ones with wood but I keep reading that the fractal north xl is very loud and the lianli lancool 217 has some faulty front fans that buzz as well. Does anyone have any of these cases?
>>110138599Fractal Summit has a subtle wood accent around the sides, I like the blackout version.They’ll probably send you a solid side panel if you’re willing to pay for one.https://www.fractal-design.com/products/cases/summit-series/summit/summit-blackout-tg-light-tint/
>>110138566>Formerly RTX 6000 PROThere's nothing left to extract out of gb202. +15% perf over the 5090 after 3 years will rapidly destroy their brand image
>>110137699gaymers are poor and constantly obssess over what they have by looking into their glass cases and frequently disconnecting their 12vhpwr connectors to check its statuspros treat their gpus as a boring tool in a black box that should never be opened as long as it continues making them money
>>110138688are you retarded? the cases come with glass, usually. sometimes, the rgb led version of products is cheaper.

good day lads, any monitor recommendations for a poorfag? upwards of ~$100 budget. looking for something that'll last long and at the very least doesn't subject me to constant screen tearing
>>110139346>screen tearing>>110139346>monitor
>>110139356sorry I'm retarded, scratch that last part
>>110139228Dell tends to offer black Friday discounts on their monitors so you should wait imo
>>110138673>brand imageThey don't care. They're holding the american economy hostage. They know there is no exit strategy now and they will simply implode their own company after it's done. Nvidia will be the next cisco systems and they don't care. In the future you'll see nvidia brands on government infrastructure and telecom companies and that's it.
Anyone has experience fixing or paying someone to fix a missing pin/pad on a cpu? Got my hands on this 5950x and it works fine for the most part but it seems to make the computer blackscreen and then freeze randomly. Most often when gaming.I'm wondering if it is fixable because I think it's missing the whole pad, not just the pin.Pic related is the cpu laying on top of a paper towel with thermalpaste residue, didn't notice it looked kinda gross when I took the picuture.
>>110139368any way of knowing if the AW3426DW will be one of those discounted units?>crystal orb status?
>>110139374If there's one thing that's true about Jensen, it's that he hates losing. GeForce being ridiculed is something he won't allow to happen
>>110139397Pretty good chance I'd sayTheir past BF sales always had Alienware qdoled discounts, they even did it on their aw3423dw back when it was the only qdoled on the market and they had no reason to discount it
>>110139386paying someone to fix a missing pin would likely be more expensive than getting a new CPU.albeit, one would need a donor CPU for a pin and skilled hands made of diamond.it is fixable, however at a minimum a donor CPU, HD magnifier camera, hot air station with tweezers and the nerve of a calm cat in a room full of rocking chairs.
>check my credit reportI need to stop buying stuff holy shit
>>110139446how bad is it brother? I might have to pull a lil out of my emergency savings to cover the pc splurge I went on this month
>>11013945330k on credit cards, 15k left on my car loanbut the good news is that like half of it is at 0% interest
>>110139458You gotta stop shopping lmaoWhat car did you buy? I bought one last december, but paid all cash
>>110139467a subaru brz>but paid all cashsounds retarded desu
>>110139470>sounds retarded desuHow so? I'm paying no interest on a car loan
>>110139476car loans and mortgages have like the lowest interest because they're secured and common loans, instead of dumping that 50k into a car because you're scared of 5% interest a year you could dump it into an investment account and get 7-8% back.
>>110139489>financial advice from the guy 30k in cc debtMy HYSA % wasn't beating the loan and I cbf with volatile stock market
>>110139513>>financial advice from the guy 30k in cc debtyeah but I take home $12k a month>buying a car with cash>high yield savings accountboomer levels of financial literacythis nigga watches dave ramsey
>>110139458how the fuck do you americans sleep at night with 30k in debt?
>>110139458That's a lot of Jewish tricks you fell for holy shit anon
>>110139523in my memory foam mattress? my tax deduction this pay cycle is probably more than your monthly earnings lmao
>>110139536I'm genuinely asking anon. Being in debt is a huge deal everywhere in the world but in the us. It's like you guys don't give a fuck no matter how much money you owe.
>>110139536ok you are still poor as in living paycheck to paycheck.
>>110139544The US is occupied by the Jews and the natives are indoctrinated by Jewish majick from the day they're born
>>110139544yeah because... it doesn't really matter? it's all fake numbers anyways. I can go to the bank tomorrow and ask for like 10k more at 0% interest. If it ever gets out of control the worst that happens is like I get spam calls? my dad had a bad business and he declared bankruptcy on like $350k and he kept all of his shit but had to close down the LLC. lol. only downside is now he can't buy another house for 3-4 years or have credit cards.>>110139550actually my sign on bonus hit last week which I promptly proceeded to use to buy a new oled monitor and pay a bit of the debt. still have like half of it left.
>>110139414maybe i'll hold out a little longer.
>>110139523
this nigga always goes "it's all fake numbers anyways" https://desuarchive.org/g/thread/109974363/#109976766like what's his mental illness lol
>>110139670fact check true?
>>110139406he checked out being wealthy.he hated losing when he was trying to create a company. He's in his scamming faze now. Nvidia losing is his goal. If Nvidia losing is him winning, he's all for it.
If you planned on getting a better cpu I would do so right now as NCM's are likely going to kill LLM's. 31x Faster, 32xsmaller memory size but 4x higher cpu compute cost.
when switching out components in my pc, is it ok to change all components(gpu, cpu, ram and cmos battery) in one go? or can it bug out?
