Momsbestboy · reddit · 2026-09-01
A Reddit user asked if upgrading from 64GB to 128GB of RAM is worth it to run larger quantized versions of Qwen 3.8, given a current setup with a 32GB R9700 GPU. The Q4KXS version currently runs smoothly, and the user seeks advice on the necessity of the upgrade and the feasibility of using SSD offloading. This reflects community discussion on hardware costs for local LLM deployment.
