Just for ref:

I have RTX 4090 and inference speeds are lightning fast.
On just an AMD 5800x3d CPU inference speed was very slow, around 1-2 words a second.

Desperately want hardware to run 70b q8 model fast.

anything rtx theoretically should be better than cpu.

The other is ram requirements.

Need more than 32gb ram, and to run in dual channel means going to 64gb.

Yeah, mobo first with dual GPU and 4 ram slot, should give great foundation for 5-10 years.

@Tim what is the speed of 4090?

From LM Studio
About 30 tokens a second

For fun mainly CPU AMD 5800x3d with low GPU usage
0.5 tokens a second

Basically without a GPU a large 70B model wasn’t usable

And What Processor you are using with it?

CPU AMD 5800x3d

For anyone that can’t run models on their PC,
Groq AI is a free online alternative.
