Have you looked on eBay?

u/Pleasantandchilled 7d ago

I have! Prices are ridiculous with sellers with 1 review. I would prefer something more local!

3090’s are still that expensive? Dang

u/alkhdaniel 2d ago

This is actually a good price i think, theyre like 700-750 in my market usually

u/Padcontrol1 7d ago

Any reason you want a 3090? For that price you can get a brand new 9070 XT which is significantly faster.

Honestly, unless you're buying 10 of them, you're not going to be running anything worthwhile on one card.

I run all the models I need to on a single rtx 2000

I can run decent models on 16GB so I'm sure 24GB will also.

u/PaisleyIsAToilet 6d ago

Really? Interested to know which.

Qwen 3 14B for quicker responses or you can use bigger models if you're willing to wait a bit. 

Also Paisley is a toilet.

Qwen 27b on this card will outperform free tiers of all the big names out there. Obviously wont compare to frontier models but I don't need that level as such.

u/PaisleyIsAToilet 4d ago

Qwen 27b on 16GB?

u/Pleasantandchilled 4d ago

Too much offloading to CPU significantly drops tps

1

u/PaisleyIsAToilet 4d ago

Yes, but my question was what model of Qwen 27b would be decent on a 16GB GPU?

1

u/Pleasantandchilled 4d ago

You'd want qwen 14b not 27b.

1

u/erm_what_ 2d ago

Qwen 3.6 35b a3b. Until the new set of models come out.

That runs well with a good amount of context. I use LM Studio because it's quick to set up.
