It runs Gemma 27b lightning fast. Sure it will drink 350W while it's doing it, but it drops right down to 5 W at idle. It's really quite efficient in that sense, because you're hardly ever hitting it. If all you want is something to host ollama, it's perfect. I know people are using AMD but it's a nightmare, believe me. Having Nvidia means everything just works. These are like $800 on ebay last I checked. 24gb of VRAM. There's no point in getting the ti if you're just using it for AI (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5806767&forum_id=2/#49487222) |

If you get the 3090ti you're forever stuck with the Nvidia proprietary connector, and it's 1st gen. AVOID (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5806767&forum_id=2/#49487226) |
