I started out playing around with code generation using Ollama/open-webui and qwen 2.5 coder 14b on a 3060 12GB, but ended up on a winding journey with an ex datacenter card called the AMD V620. Its roughly equivalent to an RX 6800XT, but with double the VRAM. At this point i've really done nothing productive with it but learned a lot about bios settings, GPU/ROCm drivers, and custom fan solutions/PWM controls trying to get it setup and optimized haha.

It's pretty sick though, that amount of VRAM with 512GB/s bandwidth can run Qwen 3.6 27B dense with 100k context window at 20 tokens/sec in LM studio. Draws 300 watts at the wall on my ITX chassis (idling about 30w).

I've been dabbling in building an aviation weather and field condition report application using this, but my next step is to rebuild my VS Code environment into a new machine. I'm kinda enjoying just fucking around with building the hardware too though

Oh...i recognise this sickness :)

I went down the same rabbit hole. I have a 6800xt however but have issues getting it to perform outside of llm chats into using tools like pi.dev

Is it worth getting a v620?
