#32Why don't they just release a basic GPU with 128GB RAM and eat NVidia's local generative AI lunch? The networking effect of all devs porting their LLMs etc. to that card would instantly put them as a major CUDA threat. But beancounters running the company would never get such an idea...

Judging by the number of 16 GB laptops I see around, 128 GB of RAM would probably cost a bajillion dollars

#35I put an a360 Card into an old machine I turned into a plex server. It turned it into a transcoding powerhouse. I can do multiple indepdent streams now without it skipping a beat. Price-performance ratio was off the chart

Interesting application. Was this a machine lacking an iGPU, or does the Intel GPU-on-a-stick have more quicksync power than the iGPU?

#38I wanted to have alternative choices than Nvidia for high power GPUs. Then the more I thought about it, the more it made sense to rent cloud services for AI/ML workloads and lesser powered ones for gaming. The only use cases I could come up with for wanting high-end cards are 4k gaming (a luxury I can't justify for infrequent use) or for PC VR which may still be valid if/when a decent OLED (or mini-OLED) headset is a…

#39They say the best predictor for the future is the past. How was driver support for their A-series?
They likely won't need to do the same discovery and fixing for B-series as they've already dealt with it.

#40Unlabelled graphs are infuriating. Are the charts average framerate? Mean framerate? Maximum framerate?
The two graphs on the page show FPS.
