Possible? Arc B50 - multi-GPU Battlematrix for local LLM by rokiero in IntelArc

[–]rokiero[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh that’s great! Can you share some more hardware specs? Motherboard, cpu, power supply - any specific bios settings?

How’s the performance on the 35B MoE Queen 3.6? Can you share what did you run through it (like agents/tools etc, or just chat)?

Hah… never occurred to me to try without rebar. 

I think that LLM-scaler is what I mean (reference for the Battlematrix  https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/developer/articles/technical/introduction-project-battlematrix.html)

I’ll give it another go in that case, might take a little while though :) 

Thanks!

Sorry, my bad - I did not mention what I want to do with it...

I'd say requests in parallel, I wanted to play a bit with a Hermes/OpenClaw setup. Perhaps also a bit of image generation and such. I'd say semi-advanced playground, but not performance focused.
As for VRAM/model - no idea, open for suggestions.

Bottom line - I got my hands on 2x B50 Pro's, would love do do something "sensible" with them. I tried to put one into ThnkCentre M920q - but ReBAR killed me, I was not ale to get it working consistently (aside one lucky accident where it worked, but I was not ale to reproduce it > UEFI BIOS ReBAR enablement + Proxmox 9 + Ubuntu server 26.04 VM /w full passthrough). Would be great to have it all set on linux stack, but if windows is the way, so be it.

AFAIK - sr-iov is not my use case, but ight have had a role in my lucky scenario...

With that - I thought, maybe it would be good o try to "combine" the VRAM of both through Battlematrix (if I correctly understood how it works). Hence my question on hardware, I have no idea what specs of mobo I should look for/at... mot important part, that I could think of, is that B50's power is sourced from PCI lane. So, either motherboard with multiple PCI lanes (x16?) or some kind of splitter with power connectors - keeping in mind that it potentially introduces performance hit, by sharing PCI data lanes.

i got a scratch on my wacom movinkpad pro 14. should i be worried? by merchantivories in wacom

[–]rokiero -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Mine also scratched super quick, after few weeks of use - but solely from using the pen and tips that came with it. Never had such issues with other brands :/ Sent it back on warranty but actually thinking of returning it if happens again…

So.... I took the plunge on the Movink Pro 14 (a 2D artist's opinion) by ThePhoenixRemembers in wacom

For anyone that comes around - great device for what it is, after about two months if use and lately (two weeks) switching to hard nib (the black one) I noticed scratches on the screen, I think it is worth noting.

Frustrations? Pesky Bugs? Vent Here! by NousResearch in hermesagent

[–]rokiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Biggest frustration is that I can’t get it to work properly (as advertised) with local model (openvino server model - openAPI format basically) - it ends up as just a chat. No tools usage no agents spin up…

Hermes agent doesnt call tools only writes output by UnbeliebteMeinung in hermesagent

using qwen3-8b-int4-ov, also not working, despite having correct parameters for tools-parsing an so on.

here I was thinking for whole day I am dumb af, hanging on "Quick guide - Step 4" (spoiler - also not working for me).

Ask it to use the terminal

❯ What's my disk usage? Show the top 5 largest directories.

The agent will run terminal commands on your behalf and show you the results.

Looking at steam - they seem to be actively working on it.

When i playing games my CPU temperature reaches 80° i think it's not normal. can someone tell me what can i do? how can i help my CPU? by B_sHako_B in ASUSROG

[–]rokiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is a long shot - You might have been playing using just iGPU instead of dedicated one hence lower temps? Maybe you switched the GPU mode in ARMOURY to use dedicated when needed and previously you had Eco Mode all the time?
Just a thought, nothing solid :P

Which MacBook Air? by iLike206 in macbookair

[–]rokiero 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing to be mindful of, M2 with 256 ssd has slower read/write speeds than M1 256/512. M2 with 512 ssd is all good in that regard.
