32 GB VRAM for less $1k sounds like a steal these days, and I’m sure it’s not getting cheaper any time soon.

Does anyone here use this GPU? Or any recent Arc Pros? I basically want someone to talk me out of driving to the nearest place that has it in stock and getting $1k poorer.

    Thanks! I was running some models on my RX 9070XT, but only Ollama works flawlessly. I couldn’t make llama.Cpp to run Gemma4 or the newer Qwen - maybe I’m hitting that incompatibility, but probably it’s the skill issue.

    P40 doesn’t look very appealing. 32 GB V100 costs about the same as 2xP40, less VRAM in total, but it’s faster, will use less power.

    But I’m not sure if I follow you on the PCIe… If I run a model that spans multiple GPUs, doesn’t PCIe bandwidth matter?
