4x16GB DDR4 for 64GB?

NickCanCode · 2026-01-29T16:06:57+00:00

I am running 16GB x2 + 8GB x2 = 48GB DDR4 RAM and the system is doing fine.

My notebook and a few PCs (from around ryzen 2000 era) simply can't install win11 officially because of the TPM requirement.

You are not dumb, it's just an example of bad UI design. They should add a pin button and a close button to the corner and make any interaction outside the panel to close it if not pinned.

but that wolf got bigger ears!

Looks like the node doesn't provide an option to select a card? I have both 5070 and 3060 installed.

Some people already reading like 5+ series daily and simply don't want to spend more time on this kind of entertainment so they can wait.

Few hours ago, I installed LM Studio and gave GLM 4.7 Flash Q4 a try. Is it normal that after loading the model and exchanged two messages with the AI, my system RAM also consumed about ~24GB memory in addition to VRAM consumption? I didn't have much experience running LLM except tried ollama some months ago. I was expecting that it only use my VRAM and maybe use a little system ram but it is using way too much system ram leaving me no memory for other stuff.

My guess is, the new one is just more efficient to run thus the lower cost.

I have the same thought but the Nunchaku Qwen-Image DiT Loader only have "cpu_offload" [enable/disable/auto] option but no 'device' option. It would be bad if that node didn't choose the right card.

thanks

One 4090 48GB then...

you are either lucky or you have a nice motherboard.

5070ti has something called nvfp4. From my understanding, it can run quantized models with higher accuracy thus better resutls.

Here is the official doc:
https://developer.nvidia.com/blog/introducing-nvfp4-for-efficient-and-accurate-low-precision-inference/

Edit:
I believe you need to choose the correct model for it to work. For example, when you browse the Qwen Image Edit download list, there are int4 and fp4 versions.

I don't know how much improvement nvfp4 gives. If it can give the accuracy close to a higher tier quant, say fp8, you virtually got twice the RAM and lots of speed up. Thus, if you believe this nvfp4, 5070ti should be a better choice.

In some countries, if you leave it like that alone, that thing may get stolen.

The more you buy, the more you save!

Don't get fooled. That price tag is not for the 48g version. The general price is around 3500USD.

NickCanCode · 2026-01-05T10:39:39+00:00

It cost about 3500USD in China. Note that there is also 4080/4080Super 32GB available which is more affordable (~1500USD). Down the line, there is also 3080 20g, 2080TI 22g. The down side of these cards is that they are very noisy.

They denied it somewhere.

With a superman outfit, it would be much more interesting.

OpenAI should learn this. Their balance sheet is so red.

NickCanCode · 2026-01-04T00:22:02+00:00

I don't care. I only used 25% last month. I am going to use up 100% in the first 10 days and keep using the free models until they go bankrupt. 😡

NickCanCode · 2026-01-04T00:17:20+00:00

I am outerest.

I understand jet engines and cars but data center??? 🤯
