Thanks! I’ll make sure to include Vulcan in criteria for a new machine and I’ll look at intel options. Only been looking at NVIDIA. Even 4GB VRAM will be a huge upgrade for me.
All modern GPU drivers support Vulkan, at least on Linux. I don’t know how bad Vulkan does in comparison to CUDA, since I’ve never used that stuff. The bigger issue is software-side support. Ollama, llama-cpp and KoboldCPP all support Vulkan by now. ComfyUI doesn’t seem to support it.
Thanks! I’ve been using llama.cpp but not married to it. What’s your opinion on used machines? Presumably risky to get a used GPU or they don’t really just fail?
