Modders have enabled Nvidia's unreleased DLSS 5 AI upscaling technology on older RTX 40 and RTX 30 series graphics cards, including an RTX 3080, but performance is severely degraded, with even the RTX…
Modders have patched NVIDIA's leaked DLSS 5 into RTX 30-series "Ampere" GPUs, but performance collapses: an RTX 3070 laptop GPU saw render latency jump from roughly 29 ms to over 3,300 ms in Kingdom C…
A user reports running Qwen 3 Coder 30B A3B, Qwen 3.6 27B, and Qwen 3.8 27B on a local machine with a 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5, and an RTX 3090 24GB, achieving about 70 tokens per second on Qwen 3.8 27B, an…
A developer discovered that Ollama 0.32.14 silently falls back to CPU inference on NVIDIA GPUs with compute capability 8.6 (such as RTX 30-series and A6000) because the bundled CUDA kernels omit sm_86…
A hardware recommendation for running Qwen3.8 27b at agentic speeds suggests a used 20GB RTX 3080 as the best value, pairing with an existing 10GB 3080 to run a Q6 quant with decent context. The autho…
Modders have upgraded Nvidia's older RTX 3080 graphics cards from 10GB to 20GB of GDDR6X memory, making them a cheaper alternative for modern gaming and AI workloads, with prices around $450 on Chines…
A guide explains how to run the Qwen 3.6 35B A3B model on an RTX 3080 with 16GB VRAM using Llama.cpp, offloading most layers to CPU to fit within memory constraints. The author details steps for insta…
