Is 128GB RAM worth it for running Deepseek v4.1 1017 and GLM 5.3 Flash at low quantization with around 20T/s, given 48GB VRAM (2x3090 24GB) and 48GB DDR4 RAM, compared to Qwen 3.8 Flash Next?
Read the original at www.reddit.com→I have 48GB VRAM (2x3090 24GB) and 48GB DDR4 RAM. If I get 128 GB DDR4 RAM can I run things like Deepseek V4.1 1017 and GLM 5.3 Flash at low quants with at least 20T/s or so and have it be better than Qwen 3.8 Flash...
