I agree we need more VRAM.

They made a 2 slot, 24GB ram card with the same chip as on the GTX 980 Ti, called the Quadro M6000. They're still around US$650 on Ebay though, unlike the 12GB variant of that card (much, much cheaper). Random example: https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/255069557859 --- Digging around a bit more, it looks like there's a "Tesla M40" card of the same generation with 24GB ram.

As far as I know, the Tesla M40 is server "only" (it doesn't have sufficient cooling for a consumer desktop)

I was going to get a 4090 this year, but I just don't think 24gb VRAM is going to bee enough in the short term future(for AI related stuff). Ended up getting a 3060 for 1/4 of the cost, and I'm planning on using/paying for Colab until some 6090 comes out with 128gb vram. Something that kind of bothers me that I don't understand. Why is there such an obsession about having small computers/servers? I don't care if I ha…

This is why I like the "open case design." Your "PC" is just a frame to hang components on, with nothing to enclose it. And the nice thing is these days people care a lot about quiet computers, so you can have an open frame case with three GPUs that is just making a not-unpleasant whooshing sound at full bore.

This exposes the components to more dust and potentially static shocks as a result. Cases are also designed to encourage airflow over specific components, so being case-free might not result in improved thermals. But it is certainly more convenient for tweaking your build.

Most cases are not designed to any of that stuff particularly well. Cases simply cannot predict what people are going to put in them To make any sort of detailed modeling useful.

Most cases rely on moving a bunch of air. As long as you love enough air, you cool well enough.

I did go with the 4090 and so far don't regret it. It has forced me to learn about some memory reducing tricks when I want to fine tune SD, but it's been fun to see what can be done. While it may not be enough VRAM for the future, I'm sort of taking the opposite stance: I'm only going to be playing with AI that I can build on my own machine using (high end) consumer hardware. People have been creating amazing work wi…

I think you need only 12GB to train a DreamBooth model? I trained some on Collab over the Christmas break but just being able to run that locally would open a lot of doors. Using collabs is just kinda a pain.

Does anyone else find it weird that a huge amount of AI video/imagery in tutorials etc seem to be sexy anime schoolgirls? I'm a bloke, I've never been that particularly bothered by like, Lara Croft, Lena, muscular guys in action games etc, I get it, I want to look at idealized/attractive things as much as the next person, but something about this makes me super uncomfortable.

Maybe it's time for you to get involved and render something that you are bothered with, what's more comfortable for you.

Mark my words. In a few years people will be writing filters and trying to figure out how to recreate the look of early AI animation.

Yes, just look at the amount of reviews of old cameras on YouTube! Of course, this is software so it will be easier to find than an old camera or lens but I am also sure it will also be celebrated as a timeless genre.

For that to happen this flickering animation style has to become popular first. I don't think it will be. It can only be applied to very niche situations. It will never be a mainstream thing like old cameras were.

> Something that kind of bothers me that I don't understand. Why is there such an obsession about having small computers/servers? I don't care if I have to put my computer in the basement because its the size of a closet or two. Maybe there is an EE issue, like too much current or EMF if you make a large computer.

I’m not using my GPU for heavy machine learning tasks at home. I have a Ncase M1 with a ryzen 3950x (16core/32 thread) and a 3090 and a few nvme m2 drives. It’s water cooled but for me the video card is the only pcie card I have, and water cooling keeps the temps reasonable even in the small space. It was a little tricky to build in but why take up a bunch of unnecessary space?

I think @bondarchuk took my comment out of context, quoting just the first line. No big deal, it's just hard to respond to that. I don't even see an issue with that particular artefact, I think it's an interesting problem from a technical pov, hence literally every other part of my comment.

It just seemed like a bit of a nitpick in the context of the huge temporal consistency issues/fixes, of course you're all free to discuss whatever you want and I agree it's somewhat interesting.

Haha, nope, not my intention at all. Although I understand the expectation give the average style of discourse on this site.

Yeah, that's a good point. Did a bit of looking into them, and people do use them in desktops but need to add some cooling.

Some places now sell them with 3D printed cooling shroud and fan already pre-assembled:

If I had the need for something with 24GB ram (even though slow), I'd probably get one of those. It's a fraction of the cost of the alternatives, and is supported by CUDA still.

Most consumer, prosumer and pro hardware has to have the EE/EMF figured out to be able to sell. Other things to setup your own gear that are worth looking into. Factoring in electricity costs is important too long term. Beyond this, running hardware long term: - If you run your hardware using a PDU (Power distribution unit) that conditions the electricity and keeps it stable, there is much less wear and tear on the e…

In my case, I just realized the last time I used one of these was in a data centre where electricity was conditioned by another piece of equipment upstream from it.

It would be helpful if you provided a link to something that did condition the electricity since you know about that instead of dropping a mic. Thanks!
