For the first time in my life I own a PC with a reasonable powerful dedicated graphics card. It’s the Nvidia RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM. I know it’s older and so on but before that I only had laptops and integrated GPUs which were not very powerful.
I bought it specifically to edit videos and it works very well for it. But I edit videos perhaps once a month and the rest of the time the GPU is practically idling.
What I found is that I can run up to 14b big LLMs on it, so I set it up and am using it for that too, and it’s really a lot of fun which I didn’t quite expect.
And therefore I’m wondering what other fun things I could do with this graphics card, any tips?
Gaming is not very entertaining to me, I do it even more seldom than video editing, so I’m looking for other things.
Have a bunch of fun with Stable Diffusion and whatever models you feel like downloading on CivitAI.
Oh, wow, I didn’t realize that would be so much fun! And it’s somehow faster than the ones online too, and you can really do a lot with all the different models you can download!
