Finally moving my AI Studio fully local. 5090 + 9950X build incoming.
Spent the last few weeks sourcing the specific parts for a dedicated AI production workstation. The goal is a "working" machine for heavy LLM inference and MetaHuman cinematic development—zero cloud, zero bottlenecks.
The core specs on the table:
• GPU: RTX 5090 (32GB VRAM is a game changer for long context)
• CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X
• RAM: 96GB (Speed over capacity for this specific workflow)
• Storage: 16TB PCIe Gen 5 (Running Ubuntu for the studio environment)
The plan is a clean, BTF-style setup to keep the focus on the production, not the cables. Saturday is build day. Any Ubuntu-specific optimization tips for the 5090 driver stack?
