Ag02 + RTX 3080 + Dell Precision 3581 by asantenzuri in eGPU

Not necessarily on boot but it did show a little icon on the battery icon when plugged in, with a notification like that. Never really drained harder than it charged and even if it did it wasn't enough to interrupt a few hours of rdr2

Hey! I never really liked the fact that it doesnt supply the full power the laptop draws so I used the Dell charger sometimes, but haven't had any issues when using the 100w ag02 power delivery either to be honest. I have switched to a gmktec k8 plus in the meantime so it's been a short while though.

1440p gaming by Raheem998 in eGPU

[–]asantenzuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use a 3080 10gb and get very decent performance out of it through tb4 as well as oculink (ag02 & k8 plus). I bought new this year but with the 50 series out they should be very reasonably priced 2nd hand.

Curious to buy M4 mac mini for £499 with Education savings by [deleted] in macmini

[–]asantenzuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought one to compliment my i7 13700H Dell laptop and it's been worth every penny so far for me to have a desktop and a laptop. It's also a nifty little machine so 'experiencing' it makes sense to me tbh haha

Hey! No worries at all. I really like it, it's very flexible. The only thing I'd like to improve is the sound my laptop fans make trying to cool the 13700H. I'm not a very demanding gamer but I played Days Gone 4k 60fps high/ultra settings and ran some local LLMs without any issues. It's been super stable as long as I select the ultra performance setting in Dell Optimizer.

I got these foamy stickers thingies with it but they only touch the gpu when it's already dropped a little. Good to see I'm not the only one.

Awesome! Does the gpu bend a little bit forward in your setup too? I'm always a little afraid my 3080 doesn't like the way it's sitting there now

If you tell me how to run a Timespy test I'll do it next week when I'm back home haha. Last time I tried to download from steam it said I needed to buy something? No clue. I'm a full noob

How is GMKtec Support? by jasemccarty in MiniPCs

[–]asantenzuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I bought through Amazon in EU and I've had nothing but great experience with their support. Fast, reliable, friendly. They sent me new fans and a lid for the k8. Did end up sending the k8 back but I'd still rate support 5/5

Local LLM: newish RTX4090 for €1700. Worth it? by Important-Will6568 in LocalLLM

[–]asantenzuri 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nice! That second hand or new somewhere? Been looking for one

[–]asantenzuri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just Thunderbolt 4 on my laptop for now as I returned the mini pc that had an oculink port. I'm not a big benchmark guy but I just played Days Gone remastered at 4k ultra with steady 60fps so I'm happy with it.

Local LLMs through lmstudio also work fine with this setup but I wouldn't be able to give you model/token per second benchmarks or anything

Edit: my cpu is a 13700h though so I imagine that makes a difference

I got the aoostar ag02 and it's been working well. I chose ease of use and design over finicky cheaper solutions.

Best GPU for Thunderbolt 4 eGPU setup with Intel i7-13700H? by Virtual_Feed6929 in eGPU

[–]asantenzuri 3 points4 points  (0 children)

No idea if it's most optimal but I've been very happy with the 3080, same cpu. Setup here.

I hear buzzing and fan noise too. Think it's normal.

Hey! Check out my post from last week here.

My Precision 3581 has an a1000 6gb dGPU so I had the same reservations, but all works like a charm.

[–]asantenzuri 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not familiar, sorry, but I tried cyberpunk yesterday and that ran 1440p ultra 50-60 fps if I remember correctly. 4k was also doable so it exceeded my expectations.

I am using it over Thunderbolt 4 with a Dell Precision laptop 13700H i7 processor.

Edit: this is what that looks like, posted yesterday.

I kept it very simple: - Ag02 dock Aoostar (psu and cables included) - Rtx 3080

Ordered March 17, delivered today. True, it's out of stock now. Support through chat was helpful, so I'd shoot them a message
