I turned on vLLM speculative decoding on a Friday afternoon, ran my usual one-request benchmark, and watched tokens per second jump from about 48 to about 88. I wrote "1.8x free speedup" in the team channel. On Monday, with real traffic hitting the…
Agentic LLM systems have moved from linear prompt chains to graph-based workflows and, more recently, code-executing harnesses. Chains are simple but fragile, graphs add branching, retries, and validation, and code harnesses verify outputs through execution. The article advises validating model…
Earlier this month, NVIDIA’s flagship GPU, the RTX 5090, disappeared from the company’s online marketplace, and now, we can add another graphics card to this list. The RTX 5080 is the next product to be removed from the list, and that too,…
Before we dive in, NVIDIA GeForce NOW requires access to the game via Steam, and Internet speeds to match the desired resolution. Of course, the higher the better. I was targeting a 5K resolution with uncapped FPS to make the most…
As anticipated, the AMD PerfOpt feature was picked up for the Linux 7.4 kernel. As shown already in multiple Phoronix benchmarks, AMD PerfOpt makes for a nice performance boost for AMD integrated graphics, especially for AI workloads... - Categories Computers Display Drivers…
Reports suggest NVIDIA is accelerating a GeForce RTX 5080 24GB GDDR7 refresh for this winter as 16GB inventory clears ahead of CES 2027.

A while back I benchmarked llama.cpp on a 96GB GPU setup and found its concurrency behavior underwhelming. Anyway — let's measure it. The parameters were slightly off: llama.cpp's KV was q8_0 while vLLM defaulted to fp16, so llama.cpp had the advantage.
Ray tracing looks fantastic, but the performance cost has always been a bitter pill to swallow. So much so, I tend to play with it turned off in a lot of games these days, unless it’s vital to how the…
GPUs for gaming and creation—performance, drivers, ray tracing, and upscalers.
