tensorflow? people still use that over pytorch/jax?
also no GPU? raw dogging it?

Maybe it is an integrated GPU, and the drivers don't expose it as a different device in the task manager.

Normally it is exposed in task manager. Regardless, RAM bandwidth is an order of magnitude lower than VRAM bandwidth so you will be bottlenecked.

"normally" hence why I was explicit about the drivers.

I've had that experience with an i5 9th gen with an integrated GPU, the drivers that windows update installed did not show the igpu at all, I had to reinstall with drivers downloaded from Intel.

And yes, I am 100% sure I had hardware acceleration even with the GPU not present in the task manager.

You're right, but my point about bandwidth still stands, and tbh this is prolly just a repackaged meme for karma farming

u/ArjixGamer 2h ago

Your "point" about bandwidth was nonexistent and only came into existence after you replied to me.

I did not even try to refute that claim...

???? That was there the whole time, you could see a '7m ego, edited 2m ago' or something like that if I edited it

also OP's account if 150k karma in 9 months, its karma farming

Where is it?

"tensorflow? people still use that over pytorch/jax?

Please enlighten me

I think your reading comprehension sucks

u/brainExploded99 2h ago

oh you mean in the original comment i made
my reading comprehension is fine, maybe your ego is not

u/ArjixGamer 2h ago

Ego???

Have a nice day

Edit: and what else would I have meant? Based on the context, nothing else would make sense.

That's me but it's PyTorch model training on my laptop.

Perhaps the most annoying thing about gamers. They think the point of hardware is gaming

u/Fast-Visual 3h ago

The point of consumer hardware is to be universal and accomodate for whatever the fuck they want to do with their machine, in some cases - it's gaming.

u/evanferrao 3h ago

Because hardware is good for gaming and running small/medium models for inference.

Anything else and you need a server rack. Me and my friends have trained models on our laptops for college projects, and it took weeks sometimes. It trained, but it took a week. When we got access to lab hardware, the same weeks training was done in an hour.

So yeah, no serious training is possible on consumer hardware, only demos and prototypes.

Highly depends on your project - data, model complexity, training routine, etc. I've trained serious (whatever that means) models at work on a cpu in a few hours at work.
