Ideally I'd like to be able to run Qwen 3.8-Flash-Next with decent performance. I was thinking of just buying 2x Radeon AI R9700 (64GB VRAM), or maybe a DGX Spark but that was before the price hike. My brother suggested just getting a Strix Halo box with 128GB unified. I did see I could buy 6x Intel Arc B60 (24GB each, 144GB VRAM Total), but researching seems like the performance of the B60 is lacking. I'd also need a new v motherboard/CPU that can run 6 GPUs. I'm also not opposed to getting a Mac Mini or Studio if the price and performance is right. The $4000 is not exactly a hard cap, like I could stretch to $4200 without too much struggle, but obviously the cheaper the better. I'm lucky to have a decent stock pile of NVMEs and DDR4/DDR5 UDIMMs, so if I need to build a box, I could, would just need the motherboard and a CPU if I can't just slot in either the Intel 14700K or Ryzen 9700x I already have. So where am I swiping my credit card?   submitted by   /u/BinaryGrind [link]   [comments]
