[@AndrewHelgeCox]

Yes, the Adlink ARM Ampere Workstation will run the 4090 because it is advertised as having RTX support.

[@JeffGeerling]

I don't know if the 4090 was certified on it or not yet, though - right now Nvidia is doing per-card certifications. But hopefully it will be easy to get it going!

[@rightwingsafetysquad9872]

Gotta get this man a 3DFX or SiG card to test. And probably a PCI or AGP to PCIe adapter.

[@scbtripwire]

What I don't get is how it connects to the GPU, and why it has its own PCIe base... is it just for power?

[@stephen1r2]

The base has a Pci-e x4 backplane with (standard) 75 watt pci-e board power. This keeps the GPU happy and routes the Pi-4's x4 (or x2) pci-e bus so that it can connect to the card

[@AudreyRobinel]

That's nice and all, Jeff, but a 4090 is easy to come by. The CM4 is not :D Kidding aside, it is nice to see that you are able to push videos regularily, means you've recovered!

[@JeffGeerling]

Almost 100%! Thanks :)

[@maharudar723]

Yes, hacking and doing engineering to make something fun just to see it work and prove it is the real fun of engineering!

[@darylmoscrop1409]

I know this is an old video, but because it's new online about someone building their own open source GPU. I was wondering if you will be revisiting this and testing how and if the open source GPU can be used? I know you'd have to contact the person who built it. But the specification of the GPU seems more suited for the bandwidth of the PI

[@Toddimyre]

Lol. Good luck with this project. As insane as it might sound, it helps to make Linux devices more viable as a whole. I don't dabble with Linux much at the present, but it's always awesome to see the hard work people are putting into it. Keep up the great work.

if you get this working i know some very specific uses where having a low power computer with a huge powerhouse for compute (such as a gpu) would be insanely useful, amazing work as always jeff !

[@JeffGeerling]

I had considered trying to push this out April 1st... though it's only partly a joke - mostly sarcastic takes since the whole endeavor is absurd... but in a learning/fun way ;)

[@Jerms2pimp4u]

I mean this in the most sincere and well meaning way possible - your content gives me PBS or Public Access vibes. It’s very intelligent and rustic in a way that reminds me of the random This Old House episodes my dad would watch on Sunday morning in the summer when nothing else was on. It’s a very nostalgic thing

[@JeffGeerling]

Wow I thought there was no way that could work. The whole time I was thinking the cards just weren't being initialised dur to a lack of x86 bios because it's arm.

[@phylwx]

I felt so seen by the kilograms measure TTwTT Thank you.

[@Mueller3D]

Based on the title, I was thinking you'd found a way to control maybe the fans or LEDs on the GPU using a Pi.

[@JeffGeerling]

That might be a decent task for a Pico! I hate the way Gigabyte made the LEDs work in this particular model.

[@ReedCBowman]

5:03 you really missed an opportunity by not flashing about 10 frames of you in a black turtleneck posed and looking all confidently arrogant genius of industry Jobs there. You've got the hair for it. You can get Linus to give you pointers on how they posed him for that.

[@pdelong42]

As to the "why do you bother doing this" question: _somebody_ has to pave the way for video on ARM to be taken seriously. In a way, Apple already proved this could be done; but if the open-source community doesn't take the target seriously, then they'll slide into irrelevancy. So in a way, you could say it's an existential / survival issue.

[@thomashall6010]

That logo is pretty neat.

[@jfbeam]

"... because they're so efficient..." and then you slap a 1kW GPU on it.

[@a4e69636b]

Seeing that a technical limit makes using an external GPU not likely possible may I suggest a new video idea: Adding external GPU support to Apple M1 and higher base systems.

[@DarrylAdams]

If it's stupid and it works, it is not stupid. Ok. It is still stupid....

[@JeffGeerling]

Dangit, so close!

[@mikeyjohnson5888]

I feel like you glossed over the the PCI to PCI adapter board. Also this whole thing is just arguing over semantics. You are still ultimately connecting the card to the pi.

[@aryanhollis4798]

Still waiting for those CM4’s

[@JeffGeerling]

😿

[@soontoberockstar8]

I absolutely love this passion project of yours and I would buy a 4090 for my raspberry pi today if you got this working but I do wonder if this goal might be slightly easier using an Nvidia Jetson Nano or AGX Orin since these are made by Nvidia and have Nvidia arm64 GPU drivers already. Obviously they’re not the drivers for a 4090 but might be a better starting point for getting this working rather than from scratch. I’m curious what you think of the viability of this as someone who has put hundreds of hours into this project already?

[@edinguitar]

I was thinking if we could use LLAMA or something similar with PI and RTX combo

[@DJaquithFL]

LMAO .. The cost of a Raspberry Pi has gotten so expensive it's cheaper to buy a real PC!

[@friorento4416]

Hey Looking Good! I mean you not the video! This video is amazing too! More geek jokes than the new D&D movie and just like that one I'm going to have to rewatch this video a few times to see what you actually found out and are telling us! But you got a special PCB built just to try even harder with this crazy project!!?!? I love this spirit!! :D Maybe you could try attaching a GPU card to a rk3588 based board? Probably not an Orange Pi 5 as that's the 's' model with much slower IO but possibly a full fat rk3588? ALthough the Mesa drivers are are bit all over the place with that GPU. (officially not supported)

[@jodyhoagland8436]

[@mikathegaything]

the overheating problems of the 7900xtx are known of the reference model because the cooler is badly designed and some models have the overheating issue

[@bjorndanziger8036]

It wasn't a design of the heatpipe of the air cooler, but a production problem. Not that it is much better than a design problem.

[@Viking8888]

Jeff, trailblazing the future of ARM gaming systems for everyone! Once you get it to work, make sure you add some RGB to it. No gaming computer is complete without the speed boost you get from some unicorn vomit!

[@salvadorGC338]

tbh Jeff, with a pci-e 2.0 x1 the only good thing a dGPU is good for is video encoding/decoding, and that at best case it would be adding a 50W gpu on a 5W PI4... and keep in mind that you may sature the bandwidth with multiple Jellyfin streams at the same time. I think it only worth to try it on the RK3588 (not the S one) because with a 4x PCI-E 3.0 you can actually do AAA gaming on it. And if you only need a good video encoding/decoding the RK3588S is the way to go. btw, the RPI4 have enoght cpu power to drive more than 2 screens?

[@stewiex]

[@winnerking]

[@EndroEndro]

You could try it with windows arm, if that pi can run it

[@aladdin8623]

Actually it would be a good idea, to make the gpu central and combine it with a cpu as it's coprocessor. That would solve many many bottlenecks. Maybe that paradigm shift will come due to increasing importance of A.I.

I'd love to see more systems running ARM, RISC-V and POWER processors. Being able to put in a GPU more powerful than the iGPU in ARM SOCs would be great ^_^

[@coreforge]

More powerful SoCs have better support. There are still the alignment requirements that can be worked around somewhat, but they don't have the 32bit access width limit the pi has.

[@StephenBuergler]

[@tobiwonkanogy2975]

I would've suggested intel if there gpu was out when you started trying this . Unfortunate the need for REBAR support on cpus really prevents intel from helping . The new setup to try to make this functional with your partners in crime is amazing looking and hopefully soon its functioning the way you want. Can't wait to potentially see that pretty arm system in action , looks like threadripper but if efficiency of those chips is anything , it will have a 65 wat tdp or something with 64+ cores.
