I bought a datacenter GPU that doesn't fit in a normal motherboard, macgyvered the fan with jumper wires, and now I'm running a model that ties with Claude Sonnet 4.6 on benchmarks, all for £200.

    Seems like an awful lot of trouble to save $100 not buying a 5060 Ti that also has 16GB.

      The 5060 Ti does not support Nvlink though.

      448 GB/s memory vs 900 GB/s and at a cheaper price.

        Good point, that should theoretically be double the decode speed, though not sure how the prefill would differ since it’s mainly compute-bound.

      I had no idea you could get a 16gb card this cheap! TIL.

      It’s pretty low performance, though… My card from 8 years ago nearly matches the passmark rating.
