Arguably an older Nvidia GPU is a better investment at this price if you just want basic desktop use. Unfortunately if I did that, the old Nvidia drivers wouldn't support my newer Nvidia Blackwell hardware.
- theokrueger 1mo agoold nvidia cards are pretty terrible actually on linux due to the proprietary drivers not working on mainline kernel after ~6.6
- userbinator 1mo agoMaybe an LLM can also assist with modifying the Nvidia driver appropriately.
- SillyUsername 1mo agoFunny you should say that On the same machine I experimented with IOMMU and a lightweight VM to run Nvidia Pascal era GPUs in a VM with 580 drivers, while Nvidia Blackwell on the host uses 590. I vibe coded that too When exposed via openai compatible endpoints with GPUStack https://github.com/gpustack/gpustack https://github.com/gpustack/gpustack I could use the combined compute power from both generations on a single machine.
