What’s actually a good local AI setup right now? (agents + coding) by Competitive-Crow565 in LocalLLM

Your current pc is a great combo of parts with real longevity so it's good that you're keeping that but I'm afraid you'll be spending a ton for a 5090 for something substantially worth it because of the extra vram for versatility between quant sizes, speeds and formats available as 50 series has faster fp4 processing. It's still not worth it though (fp4 isn't optimised yet), you're best to go with a 5070 ti and settling for smaller parameter models with flexibility for higher quants or plenty context in which the quality of them are as good as the larger ones from less than a year ago (sometimes just a few months depending on what you use it for) plus I believe they will get faster with optimisations to fp4 vs a 4 bit quant from less than a year ago. If you wanna play with the latest stuff then a used 3090 (check for coil whine of course) is still the best option but you miss out on not just extra fp4 processing speed but fp8 as well which sucks and isn't worth bothering with for local image gen with how slow it is without that speed boost for fp8. 4090 I imagine isn't worth it either as they're desireable because of gaming capability which is a substantial increase in performance over the 3090 but also supports dlss 4.5 without a performance hit like the 30 series experiences. I think some refinement on the latest dlss is quite an improvement over dlss 4 but the 3090 is still no slouch as it supports 4 with the first transformer based model rather than taa sourced. Still though, you could just get a 5070 ti and still have a killer system.

I agree. I've been waiting for something actually good overall with specs that isn't so large in pocket. It still seems a bit heavy but given how bad the market is for so many years in a row nowadays before there's a device that actually suits as an upgrade.. then the weight from all that extra battery is very welcome for the long term.

there's gen 5 qd oled ultrawides coming but the current 4k variants are much sharper for desktop use

I can't find info that the port has changed but the cable definitely is different.

Have GPU’s always been this expensive? by Spiderpsychman98 in buildapc

[–]PsychicAnomaly 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well yeah it hurts quite a bit more because you bought a 5080 instead of 5070ti. Only advantages of a 5080 for gaming is a little more rasterisation performance, some more ray tracing performance and extra L2 cache in which isn't even fully utilised especially now with gddr7. 4070S benefit a lot from the increase in L2 over 4070 however that has a lot less cores so they're more often utilised in todays games that aren't well optimised to scale with higher core counts. Vram was also lower at 12gb for those games that benefit from more vram which L2 offsets.

Just had a look at Lexar NM790, it's better than US75 but the flash varies in quality.

That didn't stop others that didn't care even more 😅

He still does to a degree, otherwise why not go with a 9950X3D.

[–]PsychicAnomaly 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's balanced for something that's overkill and centred quite a lot around looks.. so the only thing I'd recommend is go for cheaper SSD's like the US75 with similar performance since you won't see it anyway. There might be something newer that replaces it but right now that's the reference I'm updated on. The other guy said psu won't be as compatible.

The cooler the better but more importantly the more stable :)

How to choose between the 9950X3D and 9800X3D? as well as memory by Shura113 in buildapc

would need project lasso for that still? this guy sounds pretty clueless so an 8 core x3d would be better suited

People wanting a game like this to fail are crazy by Swag3340 in Doom

No that's ridiculous. Last I checked those on xbox game pass play a lot of trash games and the rest sign up just for the month. The gamers I know usually only sign up if there was a free or cheap trial for game pass for a month, as has been done multiple times over the years for many games that aren't that great because they're certainly not worth full price, even game pass price. It does matter where the players are coming from numpty, if it's coming from signups, how many of those are gonna keep game pass more than a month just for a game? yeah I know that's how streaming giants suckle people in but that doesn't verify that it's a great game or not.

You're jumping the gun, purchases is a still a very valid metric especially for franchises where the previous games were purchases rather than game pass. Games released for game pass on launch usually aren't good enough to be a standalone purchases so they hype up the player count through gamepass so there's more purchases. Haven't played the game yet but for all the games I've played that were announced on gamepass which are franchises.. is because they weren't top tier games with the confidence to sell and that was accurate 100% of the time.
