Running AI on
Real Hardware

Local models, real GPUs.

How We Measure

Every test follows the same strict protocol — so the only thing that changes is what matters.

Same Prompt

Every model is tested with the exact same prompt, ensuring a fair apples-to-apples comparison.

Same Rig

All benchmarks run on the same hardware — one GPU, one setup, no variables except the model itself.

One Variable Changed

Only one parameter changes per test — model, quantization, or context — keeping results clean and interpretable.

Fresh Reload Every Time

The model is fully reloaded before every single run, eliminating caching or state carryover.

Everything Published

Every prompt, every result file, every configuration — all published openly for full transparency.

The Rig

One machine. One GPU. Consistent conditions for every benchmark.

Single Benchmark Station

Every test runs on this exact configuration

  • GPU NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3090
  • VRAM 24 GB GDDR6X
  • Model Server LM Studio

What Is This?

PC Magik Lab is a YouTube series dedicated to running AI models locally on real, consumer-grade GPUs. No cloud APIs, no abstract benchmarks — just real models, real hardware, and real results.

Each episode puts a model through a controlled test on a single NVIDIA RTX 3090 rig, changing only one variable at a time. Every prompt and every output file is published for full transparency.

The goal is simple: show what AI models actually do when you run them on your own machine — and what it really takes to get them running.
