A user on Reddit's r/LocalLLaMA subreddit detailed their experience tuning the Qwen3.8-27B model on an RTX 5080 with 16GB of VRAM. They achieved impressive token generation speeds of over 13 tokens/second with context lengths nearing 50,000 to 61,000 tokens. This was accomplished by selectively offloading some model layers to the CPU while keeping attention and KV cache on the GPU, a technique that significantly boosted performance compared to full GPU offload or other multi-threading approaches.
