For the first time in my life I own a PC with a reasonable powerful dedicated graphics card. It’s the Nvidia RTX 3060 with 12GB VRAM. I know it’s older and so on but before that I only had laptops and integrated GPUs which were not very powerful.

I bought it specifically to edit videos and it works very well for it. But I edit videos perhaps once a month and the rest of the time the GPU is practically idling.

What I found is that I can run up to 14b big LLMs on it, so I set it up and am using it for that too, and it’s really a lot of fun which I didn’t quite expect.

And therefore I’m wondering what other fun things I could do with this graphics card, any tips?

Gaming is not very entertaining to me, I do it even more seldom than video editing, so I’m looking for other things.

    Well, the great thing about Stable Diffusion is that you can inpaint things to fix small issues like that.

    What people don’t get about AI art, is that the mistakes it makes are because somebody spent five minutes making an image and didn’t bother with the extra few hours of polish.
