Minimum for local models is 12gb imo. There are several "rtx" cards that have 8gb. Also, why nvidia? AMD works well too. My previous point stands, still. If you don't already have the hw, buying a pc today is very expensive. I don't know if you go out much but it ain't pretty out there. People arrn't precisely swimming in cash.

Also, patience isn't the only requirement. Keep in mind that some people struggle to even install a program.
