Buy the cheapest graphics card with 16 or 24GB of VRAM. In the past people bought used NVidia 3090 cards. You can also buy a GPU from AMD, they're cheaper but ROCm is a bit more difficult to work with. Or if you own a MacBook or any Apple device with a M2 or M3, use that. And hopefully you paid for enough RAM in it.

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.

Patient gamers at least have the steam deck option now

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
