    An M1 MacBook with 16GB cheerfully runs llama3:8b outputting about 5 words a second. A second hand MacBook like that probably costs half to a third of a secondhand RTX3090.

    It must suck to be a bargain hunting gamer. First bitcoin, and now AI.

        Ok. I get it now. I’ve been trying to build something cheap as a Linux gaming setup and I’ve come to the conclusion that I’m better off buying the steam deck.

          I think an older Ryzen and an RX590 can be had for decent prices, no?

            Yeah, but the form factor of the steam deck makes it more appealing if I want to set It up in the living room
