Unfortunate you don’t have multimaterial capability, neither do I :p
At my work however, I get to use PLA supports with TPU, which barely sticks enough to be support material but allows me to run it as if it were dissolvable support and is an actual treat to remove
Factorio.
Kinda lowballed and got an RX6600, honestly pretty chuffed how well it runs LLMs compared to my 2060. Still last gen, but admittedly I’ve only been playing factorio as of late, and Im not so graphics focused
I had an R5 1600x basically since it released, and I appreciate the socket lasted so long. I might as well go full AMD at this point, you’ve convinced me
555 drivers have given me a couple issues on my main PC, I’ve heard of some issues with newer cards but I figure its just a matter of time before better drivers. I haven’t had to touch pci passthroughs yet and I was unsure if theres more a challenge on server hardware with Nvidia, but it sounds like I’ll be happy to have CUDA
Xeon E5-2640 unfortunately does not, though still an upgrade of what I have now. Stream limit seems entirely configurable, so that will be just a matter of stress testing.
Won’t lie I always forget about all the new CPU hardware acceleration after using decade old hardware for so long 😅
I didn’t even realize CUDA had a weight on LLMs, thank you!
If I had feared about nvidia drivers, I wouldn’t have been using Linux for 4 years straight now. Mint supported my 1060 and 2060 before now, PopOS was fantastic aside from a quirk with waking the screens with the 2060, and honestly those issues have worsened with AMD now. Admittedly I haven’t tried much to remedy it as it’s as simple as turning off my monitors.
But if you never try, you can never know 🤷♂️
