Mac Studio M4 Max + RTX 6000 Ada eGPU AI Compute
Mac: Mac Studio M4 Max 128GB / 2TB (128GB unified)
eGPU: OWC Helios FX 850W
GPU: NVIDIA RTX 6000 Ada (48GB VRAM, Ada Lovelace)
70B needs serious memory tradeoffs
70B-class models depend heavily on VRAM/RAM, quantization, and context length.
Supported:
- Large-scale local inference (70B+)
- CUDA/tinygrad research
- parallel model serving
- advanced AI development
Not supported:
- Gaming acceleration
- macOS display acceleration
- Final Cut acceleration
- Blender viewport rendering
For AI compute only. Depends on third-party TinyGPU/tinygrad driver support.
Mac: €3599
Enclosure: €449
Maximum combined: 128GB unified + 48GB VRAM. Mac Studio handles native MLX/Ollama workloads, eGPU handles CUDA-specific tasks.
