What this run supports

This is the plain-language support map for the current build: what runs well now, what is close, and what still needs bigger hardware.

Closest stretchNothing is one small step away

The current build already covers the best near-term lanes, so there is no obvious single stretch target.

No clear stretch lane

Still outside envelopeNo lane is fully off-limits

Nothing here is completely out of reach at the workload-lane level.

No hard no lane

Step 03

Primary constraint

This is the clearest limit in the current build, how we know it, and why the recommendation points there.

Primary constraintSystem RAM is the next thing likely to pinch

There is enough RAM to complete the benchmark, but longer sessions, larger contexts, and mixed local AI workflows will start leaning on system memory first.

What hits first16 GB system RAM

The benchmark completes, but heavier multitasking and longer contexts will start leaning on RAM first.

What still worksCoding · General chat · Math / reasoning · Embeddings

The measured workload is stable today, so this is more about resilience than rescue.

Why we recommend thisPrioritize more RAM

More system memory makes the whole machine feel steadier once sessions get heavier.

Why this recommendationMore RAM improves stability under heavier real use

That is why the recommendation favors more RAM. It will make the whole setup feel less fragile during heavier real-world use.

No workload lane is fully blockedThis is why Step 04 centers the NVIDIA ladder on Keep current GPU.

Why this tierBudget-conscious jump

Choose this if you want the lowest-cost GPU jump that still changes what the build can realistically run.

What it opensUse this result as the baseline

The measured envelope does not show a modest upgrade that clearly changes the result enough to recommend it by default.

Why this tierBest long-term value

Choose this if you want the strongest day-to-day value. It is the most balanced step for real gains without jumping straight into premium pricing.

There is no single obvious purchase that clearly earns a default recommendation from this run.

Why this tierPeak consumer path

Choose this only if budget is flexible and you want the highest normal consumer ceiling, not the best value per dollar.

What it opensOnly move higher if you have a very specific target

At the top of the normal consumer path, the benchmark still does not show a clearly better next purchase.
