Barely used $2,900 RTX 5090 up for sale as user seeks 16GB local LLM setups
_-_David · reddit · 2026-10-22
A Reddit user is selling their RTX 5090 — a $2,900 luxury they barely used — and keeping a 5060 Ti 16GB instead. They ask the LocalLLaMA community how to stay in the local LLM game with 16GB VRAM and 64GB DDR4.
Options under discussion: adding another 5060 Ti, jumping to 128GB RAM, AMD/Intel 32GB cards, used V100s, or quitting local entirely for API tokens. A candid look at post-price-surge tradeoffs for local LLM hobbyists.
