I could in theory upgrade the power supply to go beyond the 150W target, but then I’d also need a better chassis because it is already quite warm with my current 130W card.

Hoping to stick with AMD, but if my wishes to play around with local LLMs and image upscaling makes Nvidia a more practical choice, I can live with that compromise.

Working with a budget of 200 US, I’m fine going with a used GPU.

    You’re gonna have to go a few years back to hit all the goals you have, but a 3060 12gb or even 3070 if you can get one under your price point is gonna have at least 12gb of ram, be near your tdp, maybe over but you can set a power limit, allow you to work with llms and have good linux support.
