    11k for one of those… goddamn. It’s called unified memory so is it VRAM and normal RAM together? Doesn’t that mean that normal RAM usage will run into the VRAM usage? Why is that a good thing?

      It is good because you can’t get a video card with 128GB of RAM. The Mac Studios are actually pretty awesome from a hardware perspective. It is the cheapest way to get that much compute. Most people with those machines use them for ML stuff or running a large LLM locally.
