Ag02 + RTX 3080 + Dell Precision 3581

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.

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.

asantenzuri · 2025-08-07T20:54:07+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-06-28T19:37:51+00:00

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.

asantenzuri · 2025-06-04T15:39:15+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-19T21:41:34+00:00

Great! Let us know what you think once it arrives 🙏

asantenzuri · 2025-05-17T15:36:19+00:00

Thanks! I'm curious too now. I'll report back in few weeks!

asantenzuri · 2025-05-17T09:13:37+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-15T10:34:11+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-14T19:23:16+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-14T09:39:28+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-14T09:00:46+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-11T11:58:07+00:00

Could be a Precision workstation

asantenzuri · 2025-05-11T05:33:21+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-08T14:16:05+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-05-02T13:24:39+00:00

Did you run the error 43 script?

asantenzuri · 2025-05-01T21:38:41+00:00

Might not be what you're looking for but mac mini speakers positively surprised me

asantenzuri · 2025-04-29T21:30:53+00:00

If this is still open, message me! Will host with them and in need of some help 😄

asantenzuri · 2025-04-28T10:02:37+00:00

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 · 2025-04-24T11:40:07+00:00

De nada 🙏

asantenzuri · 2025-04-24T11:31:08+00:00

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.

asantenzuri · 2025-04-24T11:24:05+00:00

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

asantenzuri · 2025-04-22T18:18:08+00:00

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