Can you use those AI cards for gaming too?

Or the makers intentionally nerf them, in order to better segment the markets/product lines?

The drivers often need per game optimisations these will be missing but I doubt Intel would nerf them, just rely on you not paying a lot for RAM the game won't use.

  • I actually meant it in a different way. I would get it for local AI stuff, but being able to game on it would be a huge plus, otherwise I would need two different machines.

    • Much as I want diversity; a 3090 would be a billion times better for games and can probably hold its own for a broader AI workload. Anything other then running highly quantised models that don't fit in 24GB with realativly small contexts.

    • It'll work just fine for gaming. It's what the B770 would have been if it had 32GB RAM and ever got released.

They nerf gaming cards to make money on the pro cards. Since this is a pro card it's not nerfed.
