How the series measures things

1

Same Prompt

Every test uses the exact same prompt to ensure comparability across models and configurations.

2

Same Rig

All tests run on the same hardware configuration to isolate model performance variables.

3

One Variable Changed Per Test

Only one parameter is modified per run to clearly identify what affects results.

4

Model Reloaded Before Every Run

The model is fully reloaded before each test to ensure clean state and consistent results.

5

Every Prompt and Result Published

All prompts and result files are published openly for transparency and reproducibility.

Hardware

NVIDIA RTX 3090 24 GB

The flagship consumer GPU with 24GB of VRAM, capable of running large language models locally.

LM Studio as Model Server

Lightweight model serving software used to load and serve AI models locally during testing.

About

PC Magik Lab is a YouTube series created by Mateusz Piekut, a computer service technician and homelab operator based in Poland. The series explores the practical side of running AI models on consumer-grade hardware.

Each episode focuses on testing one variable at a time, using the same prompt and the same rig to ensure fair comparisons. All prompts used and result files generated are published alongside every video for full transparency.
