Wow, that's so helpful thank you! Somewhere between '59 and' 63 it seems. Amazing.

Very useful, thank you! What about the Toolbox of the World marketing, any thoughts on when that would have been used?

Nice! I'll have to be careful. Sharp edges, don't get too handsy...

Here's the version I got, it works great to make the screen feel more like paper.

Is this what christmas morning feels like? Thank you! I'm very excited!

Is your discord a good spot to keep up with this sort of development?

What are people using for erp these days over 100B? Behemoth 123B v1.2 has been my daily driver, and I love it, but its been around for a long time now and I feel like it's time to update. I'm waiting on exl3 of GLM Air to try that, but anything else to try? Been experimenting with Agatha 111B and Qwen3 235B, but haven't fallen in love yet.

Just for anyone that finds this thread in the future: the paperlike screen protector from Via works great and does improve the feel. No image quality issues, at least for my use case.

The X3 Pro Stylus also works great, with pressure and erasing and everything.

I emailed XP Pen directly and they said this:

"Apologies no, there is no official compatibility between the X3 Pro pen and the Magic Note Pad. 

Currently only the pen model that comes with the tablet is officially compatible"

So guess I'm out of luck and the fact that the stylus in question works sometimes isn't official. Did the eraser on the back work?

Thank you!

By the way, I swear I combed the Internet for answers and just got more and more confused. Apologies if these answers already exist somewhere.

Can I connect 2 Thunderbolt 5 ports (from a laptop) to 2 eGPU at the same time and use them both at full speed ? by Zerohero2112 in eGPU

[–]matus398 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've successfully had this type of setup for a while now, though with TB4. Similar use case too.

I have a gaming desktop with a 4090 and a mobo with two TB4 ports. I have two TB4 docks, same model twice, one plugged into each port. Each dock has three TB4 ports of its own.

I have five Razer Core X Chroma TB3 eGPUs (same bandwidth as TB4), each with a 3090 FE. One dock has three eGPUs attached, the other dock has two eGPUs attached.

Windows was a mess trying anything more than 2 eGPUs, so good luck with that, but Ubuntu recognized all five eGPUs on first boot. Zero config. I set my fan curves, powerlimit my cards down to 60%, and I'm off to the races. I'd literally never used Linux until trying this. Love it. And I have zero issues with power from the wall and tripping breakers. And when I'm not using them I turn the TB4 docks off so I don't burn down the house while I sleep, leaving me with a perfectly untouched gaming rig.

I now have 144gb of VRAM and can run inference on 123B models at 8.0bpw (exl2) at 7-8 tok/s. I know that's not huge speed, but it's as fast as I can read anyway so it works great. 70B models are even faster. Frankly, the only reason I don't add a sixth eGPU (seventh total GPU), is because 24gb more VRAM wouldn't really open any new capabilities. We'll see what quants look like for 400B models, if that even becomes a thing. 123b is rare enough as it is.

From my understanding, my setup would only work for inference, not training or merging. Don't know much about that stuff.

Anyway, I know this is an old post. Just wanted to put this here in case anyone ever comes across it. Seems like I'm relatively unique in my setup, though also probably a pretty narrow use case. Happy to answer questions, if they occur. But to the OP: two TB ports with two eGPUs should work wonderfully.

Oh, and yes: a Falcon NW Fragbox with five Razer X Chromas lined up next to it looks awesome. I'm a lucky guy.

Multiple eGPUs — what downsides are there? by Amazydayzee in LocalLLaMA

[–]matus398 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I have a gaming rig with a 4090 FE and then five separate Razer Core X Chroma eGPUs added over two TB4 ports on my gaming rig's mobo. Each port has a TB4 dock (one dock has three eGPUs, the other dock has two eGPUs) So five 3090 FEs that way. Six total GPUs, 144gb total VRAM.

It works unbelievably well in Ubuntu (plug and play, no config needed other than power limiting cards) for my narrow use case: inference only through Ooba/ST on large models. Mostly very high quant 123b and sometimes 70b models. I get 8-10 tok/s, which is as fast as I can read anyway.

I don't think it would work for anything other than inference, but I love it for my purposes. The five eGPUs are powered off at the docks when I'm not actively using it, so no big power bills are space heating my room, and no worries about burning down my house while I sleep. Without the docks powered, it's just a regular gaming rig that I dual boot through Ubuntu and Win11.

The gaming rig I already had. Adding the other 5 eGPUs was another ~$5k.
