User faces LLM loading issues after adding second RTX 3060 GPU

A user on the r/LocalLLaMA subreddit is experiencing issues loading large language models after adding a second RTX 3060 graphics card. Previously, with a single 3060, the user could load models like Qwen3.6 27B, Qwen3.6 35B, and Qwen3.5 122B with CPU offload. However, after installing the second card, only dense models load as expected, while the 35B model loaded only once and the 122B model now refuses to load at all. The user is seeking advice on configuration changes or troubleshooting steps to resolve this loading problem. AI
