A benchmarker tested four 20GB RTX 3080s on Vast AI for code generation with Qwen3.6-27B and found the setup surprisingly strong.
- Reported around 69 tokens/sec decode at near-max context (256K) with MTP on
- Prefill dropped to 893 at max context with prompt cache off
- The author says the cards can cost about $400 each, with the full machine roughly $2K all-in
- Conclusion: a cheap 4×3080 box can run dense code models fast, with little quantization and no obvious degradation
