Running DeepSeek 4.1 locally on an $800 rig with a used RTX 3090 at 2-3 tok/s

A Reddit user ran DeepSeek 4.1 locally on an $800 used gaming rig (32GB RAM + one RTX 3090) — what would have been a frontier model not long ago. It currently runs at 2-bit quantization and only 2-3 tok/s, so not really practical yet, but they have 128GB of RAM, a spare 3060, and possibly another 3090 lined up for an upgrade.
