UPDATE: They responded to me. It is indeed the RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB (Not 16GB). The listing will appear correctly again on 1/24/2024
I know this community is mainly about building a PC, but wanted to get some opinions from the experts.
So I know very little about hardware, but wanted to move away from my old standard laptop for a gaming and local LLM inference desktop. Decided current series Nvidia GPU with 16BG VRAM would be good.
Saw this pre-order product on newegg and jumped on it: “iBUYPOWER Gaming Desktop RTX 4070 Super 16GB, i7-47000F, 32GB DDR5, 2TB SSD, Windows 11 Home” $1,799.99
Only after I realized the CPU model number doesn’t exist and the RTX 4070 Super maxes out at 12GB VRAM, right? Do you think they meant the RTX 4070 Ti Super?
What do you guys think? Thanks
I mean, maybe ask first, buy later next time?
If you really want to self host LLM’s you’ll need far more GPU memory than that.
Should have spent more time…you’re right.
According to some articles, you can self host smaller parameter LLMs and/or quantized versions. For example the 7B models. Recommendations were 16GB+. Some even pulled off lower
There are used set ups that can take you to the range of 40 gb.
CPU is probably a i7-14700F https://www.cpubenchmark.net/cpu.php?cpu=Intel+Core+i7-14700F
Not sure about the GPU, yeah maybe.
Thanks for the response! That website says its good if it is indeed the i7-14700F 🤞 Maybe just a typo

Can you give us the link to look at it?
Weird thing is, the product page doesn’t exist anymore. I was able to locate the Google cached version of it though (text-only version seems to work): https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:cgLuNDy4rb0J:https://www.newegg.com/p/3D5-0007-00HV4
If it doesn’t exist anymore, that’s probably a good sign that there were mistakes in the post.
I’m primarily hoping whatever GPU does arrive has 16GB VRAM. That was a main requirement I was trying to satisfy
Personally, I would try to refund/cancel the order.
You don’t really know what they are going to ship you, all you know is that what the shop listing said doesn’t exist (unless the hardware companies are making announcements between now and when the product ships).They responded to me. It is indeed the RTX 4070 SUPER 12GB (Not 16GB). Going to cancel order

I am glad you found out now, hopefully your next find will suit your needs
