No, but I most often use the hardwired button on the side of the TV to shut it down, not just the remote into standby. It takes about 15 seconds to turn on, nothing to worry about.

> Mac Studio to a machine with 6 to 8 Nvidia GPUs. That post read like a joke comparison and still does. Can you elaborate how it is relevant?

by Y-bar 2y ago
Yes. I live and work with this and I think it will help. It's not going to be quick, or a silver bullet, but very few problems in this world have quick and easy solutions.

How is that relevant when the discussion from the start was about comparing a two year old Mac with a two year old GPU as a cost-benefit discussion. In any case how are you going to fit 50+GB in two (theoretically 24+24 GB) Nvidia cards wit

How _exactly_ do I keep 50+ Gigabytes of data in the 4090's VRAM without paging back and forth to disk?
581.
by Y-bar 2y ago
That's my point. I would absolutely be willing to suffer a 20% memory bandwidth penalty if it means I can put 200% more data in the memory buffer to begin with. Not having to page in and out of disk storage quickly make those 20% irrel

That's a lot of dust. However, I don't see how this leads to more dust going into the computer compared to e.g. front-facing ventilation. The dust landing on the desk next to the computer will slowly drift down onto the surface, p
