If you have a 24GB card, just download koboldcpp which is a 250mb exec, and get a GGUF model off huggingface -- a 20B or 34B model is about 15GB, then run it. Total time, including installing card and drivers ~1hr.

Check out /r/localllama on reddit.
This card is great if you want to play with local language models. Tired of GPT refusing to answer your questions about how to dispose of that dead body in your freezer? Run your own local model that has been 'un-aligned' and it will let you know exactly which brand of acid to get at the hardware store to remove that pesky problem. All you need a boatload of VRAM to run it.
It's a great card. But for gamers, seems 4070 ti super with 3 years of warranty is a better choice.

Hardware minimums are pretty low to run a 7B parameter LLM, but can ramp up substantially if you want to run a 30 or 60B parameter LLM and get more than a couple of Tokens/s.
Are there software / license costs to do all this? Or is it considered "freeware"? Sorry - I'm a newb at AI!

This. interviewbit recently posted an article where now you have to be 80th percentile to get FAANG whereas before it was 60th. And unless you got multiple offers, you'll probably get lowballed. If you want to make money these days go learn a trade skill. $100+ an hour for HVAC, electrical, plumbing work. While everyone busy spending 4 years getting into debt, you're busy making money.
Interesting facts. I'm wondering if is there any bootcamp for trading, electrical & plumbing work lol

The base 3090 has an issue with overheating vram modules on the backside. Be sure to have a fan pointing at the backplate to keep those modules cool
I run my 3090ti a bit undervolted and keeps it much cooler and stable.

the vram matters a lot when you start gaming at higher resolutions. 4k specifically
Resolution doesn't affect VRAM usage much. It's mostly just textures. I just tested in Overwatch 2 and changing rendering resolution from 960x540 to 3840x2160 (4K) took less than an extra GB of VRAM.

Undervolt it using afterburner and swap the thermal pads. 3090 FE runs pretty cool if you do.

HVAC guys aren't making $100/hr, hate to tell you.
Also, those guys doing the skilled trades are also sacrificing physical health in that work where desk jockeys comparatively are not.
The skilled trades are a great, honest way to make a good living, especially with the right employer. But don't make it out to be some leading edge over more technical jobs, because they just aren't.
End of the day, one is not right for you, the other is not right for me. But blanket statements aren't right for anybody.

Is this 3090 or 4070 better for video editing/3D rendering?

I have a 3090, but not the cooler Founders Edition. Mine runs 70c on idle as an XC3.

I'd like to go 4x but my case is already wired for just 2 8 pins, and not sure it's worth it until the 5x series. Even GTA6 won't start as PC only consoles.

I'm not sure what games people are playing that aren't good enough on a 3090 3x series card.

then send the ai bots to do those HVAC trade jobs. nub.
I'm sure AI will solve that issue.

wall street trolls pump and dump AI much? LMAO
also I'm sure patients will want a robot nurse Dr talking to them.

When I'm dealing with phone CSR I'm already telling the ai to shut up cursing at them and telling them I know you are recording this get me a human and stop your AI BS.

if it wasn't important and a common issue I wouldn't call you stop your BS treating me like a idiot. like turning the PC on and off shit. FUK your csuite and ceo nub. replace them with ai since they are worthless. thanks record that.
the value of a job is it's value. HVAC guys aren't making $100/hr. Maybe the shop is charging that as a rate, but he isn't getting paid that. And if you think they are, then you're full on koolaid.
Does that mean a junior level IT job is worth 200k/yr? No.
but the HVAC install guy isn't the one designing the circuits and coding the smart thermostats.
likewise the programmer coding the language isn't the one crawling in an attic running ductwork.
what an asinine comment about "send the ai bots to do______". Nobody said or alluded to any of that.
I think you're butthurt.

so please answer when are we going to replace over priced CEOs with AI. 99% of CEO and c-suite are worthless and can easily be replaced with AI since they intentional make a company unprofitable and find ways to bankrupt them.

I also do know the HVAC guys aren't getting paid the 100 an hour the business is instead.
TBH they should probably just contract themselves out on platforms like hire a HVAC agent platform to decentralize work and bankrupt all HVAC companies.

decentralization of IT work as well. a race to the bottom as a result since it produces much more competition.

HVAC work really isn't that hard just most do not wanna do them.

building a house as well isn't hard - YouTube DIY and you can easily build a small house no need to build a 3000 sqft house right away. can start small like 100-200 sqft first and expand from there.

people over price housing going to fuk around and find out soon enough.
same with land speculators im encouraging Georgism around the USA to tax land more now get Fuked you stealing from income tax payers long enough wall Street worthless leeches.

that do nothing but collect a check.
we also know you use AI chips to front run traders with HFT algos and spam news channels you bought out yes we know fuk nub.
we call it fraud and stealing basically.

We also know AI chips are likely use to spam calls to humans to sell them fraud scam shit.

hope AI chips overheat and burn down your facility worthless trash ai systems
