  • Yes. All you say make sense. Tts can and shall go on CPU, who cares.

    It’s handling both general chat and ComfyUI the biggest point, but to be honest o don’t need them both at the same time. The point is how easy is to switch since this is an unattended server, shutting down containers might not be the easiest approach. Specially if some other family member want to use it.

    I will switch screen out on the igpu, it’s unused anyway, and see if I can run one card only, but I am struggling in running almost any model on LocalAI with llama.cpp I need to dig in more time on the issue.

    Adding the second Nvidia will require a new psu, the mobo has the slot, even if it’s only 16x downgraded to 4x according to Claude it will work just fine for normal inference. But I will keep it as a last resort, I don’t particularly enjoy fiddling with that bios.

    In any case I want both the llm and comfy to run on GPU and not offload so CPU.




  • I am trying to understand if it make sense to run two cards.

    I am using ai for chat and to support my subwave radio station (ai dj + music tagging and text to speech, small models are fine) so I am going to test a qwen3.5 9b derived model to have free ram to run text2speech model as well.

    The second usage for ai is image generation, I am using ComfyUI so it’s not clear to me how that plays with the other models… Will they be unloaded when I use comfy? Or will comfy just fail or offload to CPU?

    So, if having two cards pinned one to LocalAI and one to ComfyUI is a good choice, I can look into the hardware doubts. If nothing would practically change, no …

    Not at all …

    You are free to do as you please, and I fully respect that.

    I was also a no AI coder, but somehow changed my mind slowly as I learned how to use PROPERLY the tool, which can be quite useful.

    Learning how to use it has been fun too, so I suggest you give it a try if you haven’t done so yet.

    The first risk is abusing it. The second risk is trusting it. And there are many more risks, but AI is a knife and not a pistol: there are good uses for it, but you must be careful and use it properly all the time.
