Maximum allocation of 96GB to VRAM on the 128GB configuration, but your point still stands. This desktop was absolutely designed almost specifically for ML-enthusiasts, and if you wanna run a game on it you can too. Describing it as a “gaming PC” is totally missing the mark.
EDIT: it has been pointed out that the 96GB limit is a Windows limitation, so wouldn’t affect any serious ML-enthusiast
I wouldn’t necessarily say it was designed specifically for ML people though the 128GB spec will definitely draw in that crowd, the 32GB model is $1,099 and competes well in the small but very real “Gaming NUC” space that’s been dominated by Intel/Nvidia laptop gear in tiny desktop cases. Asus took over the NUC line, and the gaming models are priced way above this without the same ML draw of unified RAM.
Oh, interesting! That’s the first I’m hearing of being able to configure more in Linux, seems like anyone taking ML seriously would be using Linux anyway.

The 96GB limit is just for Windows. It can be taken higher on Linux.
96GB on Windows, configurable to more on Linux.

Thanks for that correction.
96gb of VRAM? Even most ML professionals have never seen that much vram in their life.
Yeah to me this is like SGI marketing their computers as gaming PCs
