A user shares their experience running the GPT-OSS 120b model on Ollama with an i7 6700, 64GB DDR4 RAM, RTX 3090, and a 1TB SSD. They note slow initial token generation but acceptable performance overall, highlighting it's possible on a relatively modest setup. The discussion includes comparisons to other hardware configurations, optimization techniques (llama.cpp), and the model's quality.
>I have a 3090 with 64gb ddr4 3200 RAM and am getting around 50 t/s prompt processing speed and 15 t/s generation speed using the following:

> This about fills up my VRAM and RAM almost entirely. For more wiggle room for other applications use `--n-cpu-moe 26`.

Learn how to use a spare GPU to create an external graphics card (eGPU) for your laptop or PC gaming handheld, including using prebuilt enclosures, DIY Thunderbolt enclosures, or OCuLink enclosures.
Backprop provides powerful and affordable GPU instances for AI development, with pre-built environments, pay-as-you-go pricing, and fast internet.
A startup called Backprop has demonstrated that a single Nvidia RTX 3090 GPU, released in 2020, can handle serving a modest large language model (LLM) like Llama 3.1 8B to over 100 concurrent users with acceptable throughput. This suggests that expensive enterprise GPUs may not be necessary for scaling LLMs to a few thousand users.
