Keep in mind this card has its limitations, I am looking at it from the stand point of this verse a RTX3090 used (about the same price). No way I am spending $1000 on a used card that can die tmw even with Cuda support. So now I get 32GB vs 24GB ram. I am primary running windows and LMstudio and Ollma worked fine after installing all the intel software (like 4 large installs) Vulkan support gave me around 100T/KS for qwen 3.5-35b. Out of the box with standard setup. This running on an Intel i7-11th gen with 64GB DDR4 and PCI 4 x8 interface.. The biggest hit is on how fast I can load the model in memory. The card is very quite with the fan. I suppose other people got loud fans.

- vGPU for $350 is a steal compared to Nvidia GPUs.

Low power draw (300w max) along with 2 space width makes this an easy card to double up in a chassis for use with larger models.

- Easy to setup - Plenty of Support - Works on Ubuntu/Win11 easily Ollama/LM Studio - Gemma 4:26b - Flux 2

- Good packaging from Newegg, just a smallish box with no branding on the outside. - Obviously it performs quite well. Will use the full 600W under load (but you can limit wattage using `nvidia-smi`). Have a good PSU with a 600W connector (not included) and very good airflow setup. - Working in Arch Linux with just `nvidia-open` and `nvidia-utils` packages.


* Lots of potential for storage. 28 PCIe lanes is huge at this price point. * IPMI is so convenient for running a headless system. * Fits plenty of potential in a small form factor. 4 built in SATA ports plus 2 M.2 sockets. 7 fan headers. M.2 doesn't compete with PCIe for lanes. All awesome.



Fantastic gpu. Under like 99% usage, temps are about 60* degrees C. Can run 1440p and even 4k as long as you use x3/x4 frame gen which has little input lag. Also, it ships with ECC automatically turned on so it will say 21 gb vram. Just download intel pro graphics software and you disable it in the settings, then it should say 24.




IPMI alone has to be the biggest feature! Board looks built to last decades


Everything works, The IPMI web interface is fast and easy.

At the time of writing this case undercuts competitor budget rack mount 4U cases by $140. And at that price point it is a steal. The case came with no observed defects. Next to no special features but thats what I wanted. The drive cases are functional enough. The panels are light duty but dont flex much under moderate pressure. Mine came with 3 fans: 1x 120 and 2x 60s which are basic but they work. The locking front at this price point is fantastic. It wont stop someone determined but it keeps the power switches protected. Overall exactly what I expected and wanted in this price point.

- Stays cool even through rigorous stress testing - Crushes large datasets and point cloud processing - Incredibly efficient, completes all my work I used to do on a rtx 4070 super with no sacrifices or penalties. - Gaming capable, could run Arc Raiders on Epic Settings with no struggles at 60fps

-lots of parts -very flexable motherboard mounts -easy to work in -comes with pc speaker
