Date: January 7th, 2025 8:28 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) Benchmarks and price: https://www.cpubenchmark.net/compare/5811vs5731vs5726vs5684vs5729/AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-7970X-vs-AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-PRO-7965WX-vs-AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-PRO-7995WX-vs-Intel-i9-14900KF-vs-AMD-Ryzen-Threadripper-PRO-7975WX
You'll see the 7970X outperforms the 7965WX and 7975WX. It's not until the 7985WX and 7995WX that we start seeing some major differences, but at $2400 for the 7970X and almost $10,000 for the 7995WX, the choice is clear. |

can i run those 3 monitors off of my ThinkPad? |

Your thinkpad would not be able to run those three monitors at the same time. Most laptops only allow for the connection of one or *maybe* two additional monitors. |

|
Date: January 7th, 2025 8:55 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) A Lenovo docking station won't necessarily help here. If you're using an Nvidia graphics card, it depends how many DP heads you have (each displayport on your laptop is a single head). You can daisy chain multiple monitors together if your card supports MST (multi-stream transport). Check the manual for your specific card or tell me its model and I'll tell you.

This system will also replace the majority of my other peripherals, like multiple raspberries pi. Almost everything currently running on a raspberry pi will be moved to my desktop for now.

Date: January 7th, 2025 10:16 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Don't have the same PC double as a NAS. Any down time will take your NAS offline, and maintenance on the NAS will also be extra work. Get a cheap ass mini pc and put Unraid on it. Make a ZFS pool and forget it. Get a used ironwolf pro as your parity drive. I did this with a 10 bay enclosure and it solved a ton of problems.
You can also just put your GPU in a server and do everything in a GUI. You can VPN in and access your GPU from anywhere. |

These discrete graphics cards with 24gb VRAM all need to be scrapped and recycled. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5660093&forum_id=2Elisa#48529702) |

Date: January 7th, 2025 9:06 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK There's like no software for it. It's crazy that it can even run Ubuntu. However, it will let you run Nvidia and AMD workstation GPUs alongside each other, no problem. Memory bandwidth/PCI lane shit is dealt with in a much less convoluted manner than with TSNIAH's rig. The next closest thing to this in terms of architecture would be a Mac Pro, and that locks you into Apple's ecosystem.
Of course the lack of native apps shouldn't be a hassle for TSINAH. This is his opportunity to be a trailblazer. Hardly anyone on earth has a developer platform like this to fux wit |

Date: January 7th, 2025 9:20 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) I'm considering it. However, I think the 5090's performance may actually be comparable to the A6000's despite the differences in VRAM. That's only because the 5090 uses GDDR7 (32 Gbps) while the RTX A6000 Ada uses GDDR6 (20 Gbps). That's a pretty significant speed improvement and would largely make up for the differences in VRAM.

Date: January 7th, 2025 9:30 PM Author: Taylor Swift is not a hobby she is a lifestyle (πΊπΈ π΅π±) LJL I'm not going to be training LLMs on this machine. I'll still rent H100 time for that. This is primarily for inference and some fine-tuning. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5660093&forum_id=2Elisa#48529801) |
|
Date: January 7th, 2025 9:33 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK Yeah you can only do inference. The speed advantage you get with that setup vs a Macbook Pro with 92gb isn't meaningful (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5660093&forum_id=2Elisa#48529816) |
|
Date: January 7th, 2025 9:31 PM Author: https://imgur.com/a/o2g8xYK The difference is negligible for anything you're doing with even 48gb. You can get an M2 Ultra with 192gb of unified RAM for less than either of these systems. If we're being honest that's the shit right there. If you're coding from scratch right now you're either using Apple silicon for personal use or no one knows your name. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=5660093&forum_id=2Elisa#48529803) |
