What owners report

  • “[...] Those signals are processed via reciprocal ranked fusion, re-ranked, and then give the search results. [...] Median retrieval latency was 22ms/27ms on oracle/s splits respectively, on a laptop with an RTX 4060. [...]”

  • “[...] My RTX 4060 can run qwen3:30b at a comfortable reading pace even though 2/3 of it spills over into system RAM. [...] Second answer: ask an AI, but prices have risen dramatically since their training cutoff, so be sure to get them to check current prices. Third answer: I'm not an expert by a long shot, but I like building my own PCs. [...] Strix Halo has a wider memory bus and so it's a good way to get lots of high-bandwidth shared system/video RAM for relatively cheap. [...] I was also considering doing a much hackier build with 2x Tesla P100s (16gb HBM2 each for about $90 each) in a precision 5820 (cheap with lots of space and power for GPUs.) Total about $500 for 32gb HBM2+32gb system RAM but it's all 10-year-old used parts, need to DIY fan setup for the GPUs, and software support is very spotty. [...]”

  • “[...] Then at work, I got a MacBook Pro, and that's when I saw the difference. [...] I'm not some Apple fanboy—I've been using Arch Linux daily for the past month or two, and it's great. However, there isn't a day that passes without screen freezes during peak usage, and I need to reboot every day or two. This happens despite having 32GB of RAM, an RTX 4060, and a Ryzen 5 7600. [...] That's why Linux and Windows can't win this performance battle.”

  • “[...] But it is fast I'm not a Lightroom user myself, but my mom is a photographer and uses Lightroom for all of her photos and at least on her PC, it became extremely slow and painful to use. And it's not like it's a super outdated system either, it has a Ryzen 5600G, RTX 4060, 32GB RAM, nothing too ancient... [...]”

  • Software & AI4 owners report this

    “However unfortunately in my use case I felt using Gemini's Free Tier with it's multimodal capabilities and much better quality output made running local LLMs not really worth it as of right now, atleast for consumers.”
