Can 2x RTX 5080 run Qwen3.8 Flash-Next?

Probably only partly: the weights are larger than its memory, so part of the model likely ran from system RAM. Measured 144.4 tok/s generation with part of the model offloaded to system RAM (capy-flash v0.7.2, --expert-cpu-threads 15, agentic decode, NVFP4; source).

Memory: 2x RTX 5080 has 32 GB. Qwen3.8 Flash-Next weights are about 110.1 GB at Q4_K_M (180B 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.
