Ollama doesn't currently support mixing CUDA & ROCm. https://github.com/ollama/ollama/issues/3723#issuecomment-2071134571

One thing to keep in mind about adding RAM your speed could drop depending on how many slots you populate. For me, I have a 5700G and with 2x16Gb, it runs at 3200Mhz, but with 4x16Gb(same exact product), it only runs at 1800Mhz. In my case, RAM speed has a huge effect on tokens/sec, if I have a model that has to use some RAM.

You can check AMD's spec page for your processor, but they don't really document a lot of this stuff.

This is why I want Intel Arc to succeed, because maybe it'll make AMD take Radeon more seriously. It's been a steady decline since the ATI days (2006)

I love my Ryzen though.

I think it's because architecture-wise, these are more in line with the 8000 series. The 7500F is a full featured Ryzen 7000, but with broken graphics. These are basically 8000 series APUs, so they have the lower PCIe version, lower cache and fewer PCIe lanes, and broken graphics.

I suspect the price will come down soon because no one should be buying these at this price. The 8400F is only $10 less than a full 8500G.
Edit: I just saw that the 8400F is a six-core, so maybe that helps justify the price.

I think 5 is what I'm looking for. Sometimes Civ (in general) gets out of hand with the micromanagement. I want something that's kind of casual.

I've been looking to try Civ 5 or 6, but haven't decided which one yet.

Did they give up on trying to put X3D into laptops?

It's wired. Sorry, I should have mentioned that.

That would be nice. And maybe a bridge for sharing memory between cards, since Nvidia got rid of theirs.

I'd love a 24Gb card, less than 270mm, without the cursed power connector.

Is this the generation where they're only making mid-range and lower cards?

The dams have been damaging the ecosystem in the area. https://www.latimes.com/environment/story/2024-03-24/klamath-river-restoration Probably not a big deal overall, but that area is big on environmentalism.

Salmon like to live in the ocean and lay their eggs in freshwater, so they make the journey upstream. Plus, there’s all the other animals that try to catch salmon on their way up the river.

Also the dams were built without consent of any of the Native American tribes in the area, so that was kind of a big deal.

And they were taxed enough to keep them from getting "too big to fail".

So it seems obvious that the US dept of Homeland Security would include a Meta rep on their AI Safety and Security Board. But they didn't.

Don't get me wrong, I hate Facebook/Instagram/Meta, but I appreciate their contribution to AI.
