| RTX 5070 Ti + Ryzen 9 5950X: gpt-oss 20B at 213.2 tok/s, Qwen3.5 9B at 126.6 (llama.cpp CUDA) | Q4_K_M (5.7 GB) | llama.cpp b11669 (CUDA) | 126.6 | source |
Memory: RTX 5070 Ti has 16 GB. Qwen3.5 9B weights are about 5.5 GB at Q4_K_M (8.95B params × 4.89 bits ÷ 8, before context/KV cache). Arithmetic, not a measurement; long contexts need more. Check other quants in the VRAM calculator.
Speeds are decode (generation) tokens/sec as reported by each source; quant, engine and context differ, so small gaps are noise.
