I mean sure if your older machine’s newer GPU has 200 GB of VRAM to run a decent quant… Fucking hell just Q4 is around 100 gigs and then you’d want a decent amount of KV cache too.
It doesn’t. Use Strata to run it. Choose the recommended settings it gives you during the install. People can run it with 12GB of VRAM and 32GB of system RAM. It partially loads the most common parts of the model I’m VRAM and swaps from RAM when needed. Rarely it needs to grab from the SSD, but it’s swapping while processing so it doesn’t seem slow at all. I get around 60-80 tokens per second on average. 16GB VRAM and 48GB RAM.
I get where you are coming from. I thought it would run slow AF as well before I tried it. 😄

I encourage you to give Qwen 3.8 flash next a try. It’s amazing what a typical gaming machine can do with it.
I read it needs 75gb at the minimum quantization? It doesn’t seem “typical gaming machine”

If I may ask, which Quantisation are you running it on? I’m on an Apple setup with oMLX and am still experimenting with finding the right balance
Yeah no prob: IQ3. Sounds ridiculously small but works really well.
How does strata compare to lm studio?
