Seems like an awful lot of trouble to save $100 not buying a 5060 Ti that also has 16GB.

448 GB/s memory vs 900 GB/s and at a cheaper price.

Good point, that should theoretically be double the decode speed, though not sure how the prefill would differ since it’s mainly compute-bound.

I had no idea you could get a 16gb card this cheap! TIL.

It's pretty low performance, though... My card from 8 years ago nearly matches the passmark rating.

The 5060 Ti does not support Nvlink though.
