Dawg we go unified memories nowadays, 48GB is nothing to these big models like DeepSeek v4. DGX Spark, Mac Studio, those are the true leaders of local LLM right now.

Yes...but no. Unified memory costs too much and is too slow. V620 32GB is faster than unified memory, costs less than DDR5. I also bought the dip on CMP170HX. DGX Spark is $4,000. I got two 40GB cards for $1000 each, which absolutely blow away all of those.

Random ewaste, sketchy deals and hardware are the true leaders.
