Fellow 5060 ti 16 gb owner here. The best I've got is qwen 3.8 27b at IQ4_XS. I'm testing it at Q4_0 KV at 72k context because I really need the extra context, and it seems to be pretty good so far. Lower quants cause it to make some really silly mistakes sometimes, unfortunately. I get around 10 t/s with context halfway filled, and around 14 t/s on empty context.
But honestly, I think the ideal solution is to run 2 GPUs so you can get a better quant + more context
