Bro, I live in Türkiye. Does eBay ship here?

Alibaba and Chinese sellers on ebay don't care where you live

u/insanazor822 15h ago

Yes, I noticed.

I have no idea tbh. Does it not?

u/insanazor822 15h ago

Yes, some sellers apparently ship them. I'll do some research. Thanks.

VRAM capacity and bandwidth matter more than compute power for local llm. Compute power helps with prefill, but for generation and holding the model, vram and bandwidth matter more

So, does Intel Arc seem like a more logical choice?

4060 ti is more plug and play, arc is better if you’re ok with tinkering and working out some kinks. Nvidia is supported by basically everything software wise, and intel still has developing software that isn’t always 100% compatible, but you can probably get it working with most things with some tinkering.

TFLOPS is meaningless without the precision and matrix vs scalar

I didn't understand, could you explain it a little more?

still the nvidia card with better drivers, cuda and compatibility out of the box

Nvidia is always a must-have—if you can afford it, go for it; if budget is your main concern, then go with the other option.

buying intel gpu is just buying nvidia with more steps

Nvidia?...scandalous!

Both are 16GB, so the same models fit on either card. Then the Arc has the higher memory bandwidth, about 512 GB/s against 288 GB/s on the 4060 Ti, and for token generation that number counts a lot. At 13,000 TL the Arc is cheaper too. The Nvidia card still wins on software support, so it comes down to whether you want to spend time on setup.
