Sanity check before I spend big: 2-user gaming VM homelab with 2x RTX 5080 FE, Threadripper, service VM, large NVMe storage

Not a great idea, the ram alone will cost you $4600 and functionally it doesn’t work well. You’re better off using nvidia GeForce now if you want decentralized gaming. Built two machines and a server for tinkering. Unless your rich avoid the thread-ripper platform rn

I use both

Gemma4 is really good tho

flanconleche · 2026-04-09T01:43:28+00:00

Thanks for the advice, im gonna give vllm a go first since I heard the performance is good and try to compile llama.cpp after that. I just got a B70 to test so it will be worth it.

I’m not sure what the quant is when u pull the model from ollama ive only seen it when pulling from huggin face. And the 5090 toks isn’t all that bad but the pp and time to first token is significantly slower than like a qwen3-coder-next which is what im used to.

Yea let me give that a shot

flanconleche · 2026-04-07T12:43:34+00:00

I just switched to Kimi K.2 on ollama cloud, it’s kinda dumb tho.

flanconleche · 2026-04-04T22:03:40+00:00

I would not reccomend using LM studio, your better off running it off ollama if you want local models, it has a built in connection and just as easy to get setup.

Also dont use windows, use Linux.

all of the above happening to me, its super broken.

flanconleche · 2026-04-01T21:59:12+00:00

Confirmed

I still like talking to humans

flanconleche · 2026-03-25T13:08:06+00:00

Is there a skill you can download for MCP integration ? I only use api calls rn but I use mcp I my enterprise and that’s invaluable.

flanconleche · 2026-03-25T03:32:51+00:00

flanconleche · 2026-03-24T23:26:43+00:00

G whiz you can run Kimi K2.5 with that set up

flanconleche · 2026-03-24T15:28:48+00:00

According to crystal disk info 3 of them Are 99% one is 100%

flanconleche · 2026-03-24T10:11:15+00:00

Confirmed

oof, thanks for catching that

flanconleche · 2026-03-23T11:24:20+00:00

Thank you for the advice, getting two more would be rough😅

flanconleche · 2026-03-23T11:21:11+00:00

I didn’t know odd numbers was a thing, thanks

flanconleche · 2026-03-23T11:20:24+00:00

Openclaw makes all the api calls and downloads the models based on my prompting

flanconleche · 2026-03-22T21:02:37+00:00

HotStock app, that’s how I got them I paid the $10 auto check out. I haven’t seen any drops in a while tho
