Running qwen 3.6 / 2.8 on 3090+3080 over RPC?

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, and is considering adding an RTX 3080 10GB to a server for more context and dual-box RPC setup, though they admit to being new and possibly misconfigured.

Hi I am trying to setup a local model machine.

I just got qwen 3 coder 30B A3B and qwen 3.6 27B and 3.8 27B running on my LLM box machine.

I’m new to this and it seems to run okay-ish after applying someone’s advice to quantize and err do something. Lol. I don’t know how it works.

He said it’s new but I could add a second 3090 in my T5810 and run them together over RPC.

I am on a budget so I was thinking of getting a 3080 10GB to put in my server and perhaps it would allow for more context for my qwen’s as it keeps running out.

Also I really don’t know what I’m doing and probably haven’t configured anything properly yet.

I think I get about 70 tokens a second running Qwen 3.8 27B at the moment.

Old mate says he gets 70~ tokens a second too on his 3090.

It just seems misconfigured and slow.

Going to have a second look around the forums for guides on how to configure this while I wait for responses on it. But I thought it was worth asking about dual boxes and RPC config.

My LLM box is 7800X3D, 64GB DDR5, 3090 24GB. Running ubuntu and ollama.

My server is a 14 core intel, 32GB DDR4, 1650 4GB ( at the moment)
