Dual RTX 5060 Ti setup optimizes LLM performance with 176K context

A Reddit user detailed their optimized setup for running large language models on a dual RTX 5060 Ti GPU configuration. Key recommendations include ensuring the motherboard utilizes CPU lanes for both GPUs via bifurcation, dedicating a separate GPU for system display to preserve VRAM, and using NVFP4 quantization for better performance. The user achieved impressive prefill speeds of up to 4,270 tokens/s and decode speeds of 70-95 tokens/s with a 176K context window, attributing much of this to hardware configuration and specific model optimizations like MTP speculative decoding and int8 KV cache.
