Vedal hardware upgrade list

[hexed niche]

• Better graphics card
• Maybe a dedicated transcoding/ML card (like intel)
• flight sim setup stuff (Yoke, throttle, ||metal|| pedals ||vedal||)
• (small) NAS for storage
• GoXLR and Stream Deck?

Contact Linus and ask very nicely for a collab in the future and what their requirements are for it

I think you meant "Vedal hardware Wishlist"

He's also considering a new PSU, in which case I would recommend taking a look at this site before buying,

dedicated transcoding/ML card
I looked into potentially having a dedicated graphics card for transcoding a few month ago and found that everyone is recommending against it.
Apparantly a 2nd GPU just ends up halving your PCI-E lines to your main GPU and with transcoding it would eat up a bunch of PCI-E Bandwith to the point where it's not worth it. (though I did that research in regards to an overall AMD system, and I don't remember if that same would apply to intel/nvidia systems)

Though a seperate system for specific GPU tasks might be an option

Isn't that just a problem if the CPU doesn't have enough lanes though? (and a sufficient motherboard that doesn't limit the amount of lanes ofc)

@sacred jolt has leveled up! (2 ➜ 3)

Some manuals to motherboards can also tell what configurations it supports (depending on the CPU) when some PCIe slots are occupied

[hard smelt]

well the CPU should have 40 lanes, so as long the Motherboard is a good one, it should work out well

Heck, he doesn't need a PC he needs a server

[sacred jolt]

Scratch a server, just go straight for a data center

[twilit eagle]

wait does it actually saturate the pci lanes? to my knowledge GPUs run just fine with 8x as with 16x and only a bunch of SSDs can manage to oversaturate pci lanes

[hexed niche]

assuming your motherboard is fine, it depends on your CPU's capabilities
