NVIDIA Puzzle-75B-A9B model achieves high performance on consumer GPUs

A user on r/LocalLLaMA has detailed their experience running the Nemotron-3-Puzzle-75B-A9B model with NVFP4 quantization across three NVIDIA 3090 GPUs. The setup achieved 132 tokens/second with a 256K context window and FP8 KV cache, consuming approximately 500W. This configuration effectively utilizes the available VRAM, offering dense-class quality at speeds comparable to smaller models, a niche that the user notes is otherwise underserved in the current market.
