PC user weighs GPU vs RAM upgrade for local LLM performance

A user is seeking advice on upgrading their PC's hardware to better handle local Large Language Models (LLMs) and other AI tasks. They are considering either a new RTX 5070 Ti GPU or increasing their DDR5 RAM capacity to 144GB or 192GB. The user currently utilizes two GPUs (RTX 5060 Ti and RTX 4070) and 80GB of RAM, running models like Gemma and Qwen, but faces performance limitations with larger models. They are weighing the benefits of a faster GPU with unified architecture against the increased memory capacity for running bigger models more efficiently. AI

IMPACT Users running local LLMs may face similar hardware limitations and consider GPU or RAM upgrades for improved performance.
