Local LLMs on RTX 5060 Fall Far Behind Cloud Models in Real-World Test

A user who bought an RTX 5060 (8GB VRAM) for about $350 found that locally quantized 7B–13B models and distilled image models lag far behind cloud models on complex reasoning, diagram and layout tasks. Local image prompt accuracy scored just 2/10 versus 9/10 for the cloud.
