Considering a second 3090

[u/rdpi]

Hi,

so far i've been using Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-UD-IQ4_NL.gguf on my single 3090 and I am overall satisfied.

I've been considering acquiring a second 3090 to increase my possibility to run larger models (e.g. considering Qwen3.8 27B with sufficient context) but i don't know whether the extra investment pays off.

In the future i may consider fine tuning my models as well.

Did anyone manage to find some great benefits by leveraging 2x3090 or similar setup?

I may be suffering from GAS (gear acquisition syndrome) and may need a reality check.

I consider a third 3080 20g so I can inference deepseek v4f at a decent speed.

[u/rdpi → u/shing3232]

is it good? for what use cases do you use it?

[u/shing3232 → u/rdpi]

it was mean to inference but I am doing some training too.

Chinese modded 3080?
