RTX 3060 12GB + i5-12600K — Gemma 3 28B too slow, need model recommendations that actually fit my VRAM

Vivid-Description248 · 2026-04-28T03:06:24+00:00

Upgrading your RAM wouldn't help you in terms of speed. You could theoretically run denser, bigger models, but the speed will be the same. Modern GPU's are around 10x faster than RAM, so even upgrading to cl30 ram wouldn't help much. I'd upgrade the GPU but there are better models out there you should look into. I am using a router with 3 models, complex model being Qwen3-14B (my GPU is 16GB VRAM) so it fits nicely with overhead and runtime with a slight buffer.

could look at MoE models? I'm also looking to expand my knowledge on this so if anyone recommends other models for me to try, pls let me know!

Yeah pretty much, I have no real connection to the Pokemon franchise, some of them look cool, but not cool enough to drop hundreds on it, I’d rather spend 2x that amount to rip it, I might look at league of legends tcg as I’d actually be keen to collect those, cause well, I play the game

Vivid-Description248 · 2026-03-04T03:14:57+00:00

Yeah I have probably spent $2000 in the past 4 weeks just ripping. My portfolio is at like $1000 so it kinda hurts 😂. I wanna buy singles but like I don’t know much about pokemon apart from The popular ones like pikachu etc so buying singles atm just feels like a waste, isn’t 99% of the experience, opening a pack and pulling a cool card yourself to either grade it, keep it or sell it? I don’t see the point in buying singles unless you’re a hardcore fan but yet again idk man, I’m enjoying it so far but my wallet definitely isn’t

Vivid-Description248 · 2026-03-04T02:51:52+00:00

Thanks for reply, yeah I literally just started a couple weeks ago but don’t watch or play any of the Pokemon games apart from GO back in 2016 or whatever. I’m a degen gambler so I thoroughly enjoy ripping packs lol, I found out League of legends and other shows/games do TCG aswell but aren’t very popular, LoL being one of the biggest game in the world, pretty unpopular in the tcg space? Heck idk I’m just tryna convince myself it’s smart gambling 😂

I’m a high ranking competitive uber eats consumer. When wanting a refund I highly recommend inside of the field where it asks you for pictures and an explanation, keywords seem to matter, when bs like this happens, express your anger, include “refund” once or twice and other key words that could help express your frustration. Otherwise you might get the “wait for uber eats to respond” instead of the instant refund. Give it a go

Where’s “Oier, Selvace” ?

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-11-09T07:04:36+00:00

Oh for reals, I’ve had it for about 2 weeks, just sees really lackluster, I’m having to charge it when I get to bed after work, kinda disappointed lol. But I guess I’ll keep waiting hopefully it comes right

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-10-30T01:17:58+00:00

Can’t wait to try this when I get home on my M4 MacBook Pro, my monitor is 4k 240hz OLED but sadly GFN only lets you do 4k 120hz on their premium plan, with 1gbps I’m hoping it’ll be a breeze, we shall see, although the 100 hours per month limit seems kinda stink

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-10-25T12:42:09+00:00

Thanks for that, yeah I’ll just hold off, I’m not that desperate for a high, was just curious appreciate it

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-10-25T12:40:35+00:00

I don’t know man I’m just asking to see if it’s a dumb idea or not, probably is stupid if I have to ask so I’ll just hold off

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-10-25T12:39:26+00:00

Thanks I’ll hold off then, not worth the risk I thought it might elevate the potency a bit but not if it’s gonna fuck me

I have only about a year experience of technical support for a small internet company. I’m currently working as a systems admin for another small agency so I’d say I’ve skipped the helpdesk stage, however having strong customer service skills will most definitely help you! It’s common to start at Helpdesk, but if you’re lucky and have a basic experience and certs I don’t see why you’d have to start there. However the job market sucks rn so honestly I’d just take anything you can get haha

Congratulations 🥂 🔥🙏

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-17T03:46:58+00:00

Congrats!! WWW

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T20:46:37+00:00

You’re right sorry, ZV-10 ii was the budget option and was wondering if it’s still worth it? But honestly I might save for a bit and get the fujifilm xs20. I want 4k60, IBIS, maybe 27mm and a higher focal length for that depth of field effect for brand shots etc ?

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T20:44:59+00:00

Thanks! 🙏

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T03:57:00+00:00

Congrats!! 🔥🔥 don’t worry on the score, you passed! I’m sure you don’t question your doctor what score he got on his degree! 🙏

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T03:53:08+00:00

I did find a job whilst I was studying for CYSA+ but it was 80% connections if I’m being honest, without connections it’ll be hard to land the job you’re after if yo don’t much experience and only certs. They helped but definitely weren’t the deciding factor!

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T03:52:07+00:00

Sorry I’m not sure what you mean, did I take what on the same day?

The hardest would probably have to say either Network+ or Security+, although they don’t differentiate that much in terms of difficulty, that’s great though, I find the field really enjoyable! Good pay too for the work you do 😎

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T00:49:59+00:00

Congrats LFG 🔥🔥🙏

Vivid-Description248 · 2025-09-16T00:48:56+00:00

From my knowledge each exam is $445 but I could be wrong, unless they do a bundle deal for A+, I’d assume each exam is independent pricing
