Dual 3090 + 32GB RAM can't run Qwen Strata low-bit quants; user mulls a $479 RAM upgrade
runcertain · reddit · 2026-10-31
A r/LocalLLaMA user reports failing to run Qwen 3.8 FN (Strata) on dual RTX 3090s with 32GB DDR5, despite referencing posts where it ran on a single 3090 with 64GB+ RAM and on dual 3090s with 48GB. Even the "low RAM, 1-bit coder quant" path in the strata-dual-3090 repo won't launch. Having paid $300 for 32GB post-RAM-price-surge, they're now deciding whether to drop another $479 on 32GB more before giving up.
