That's interesting, thanks. Can I ask what that vram is getting used for? Gaming, llms, other computing?

[–] JTheFox@lemmy.world 2 points 2 weeks ago

The main things that use up a lot of VRAM for me is definitely doing Blender rendering and shader compilation for things like Unreal Engine. My games probably would use a little more if I had any screen higher than 1080p. The most usage I’ve seen from a game was around 14Gb used

I haven’t messed around with llms on the card just yet but I know that Intel does have an extension for PyTorch to do GPU compute. Having the extra VRAM would definitely be of help there
