A Hardware Guide for People Who Actually Work With AI With regads to AI and Claude, here’s what most people are not writing about yet: the hardware side of working with Claude, and more importantly, the human side. A lot of AI blog and Reddit posts out there fall into one of two camps. Camp A is obsessing over local LLM rigs, how many NVIDIA H100s you can cram into a tower, how much VRAM you need to run a

Is the Upgrade Actually Worth It? The internet loves a clean upgrade narrative: Old card bad, new card good, spend money. But the reality of the NVIDIA RTX 5080 era is messier and more interesting. If you are currently rocking an RTX 3090, youâre still packing serious heat. That card remains a 24GB monster. The big question: Is the 5080 a meaningful leap forward, or just high-end hardware FOMO? Letâs break down the data. Raw Gaming Performance: Faster, but is
