VRAM is the most important factor for earning potential. More VRAM allows a node to serve larger, more valuable models. NVIDIA drivers must be installed before running the FAR AI installer, the installer handles all other software dependencies automatically.
Storage speed has a meaningful impact on job start latency. A large model loads significantly faster from a high-speed NVMe drive than from a standard SATA SSD, and faster load times mean higher effective availability and more earning opportunities. The installer automatically selects the best available drive for model caching.
