I had been planning to buy a GPU for Blender to compliment my 5950x CPU. The moment I ran the Qwen3.6-27b on my CPU, I arrived at the conclusion about the GPU I want. I saved some money and ordered the 7900xt-20gb for around 600 USD (instead of 7900xtx for 900USD, Nvidia out of question due to prices).
I just ran the Qwen3.8-27b and asked it to benchmark itself.
Here's the output:
=================================================
stdout:
Benchmarking model: qwen3.8:27b
=== A) 32k ctx, short prompt ===
Context window set to : 32768
Input (prompt) tokens : 32
Prompt processing : 68.5 tok/s (0.47s)
Output tokens : 80
OUTPUT SPEED : 42.45 tok/s (1.88s)
Wall-clock total : 3.9s
=== B) 65k ctx, short prompt ===
Context window set to : 65536
Input (prompt) tokens : 32
Prompt processing : 48.7 tok/s (0.66s)
Output tokens : 80
OUTPUT SPEED : 20.49 tok/s (3.90s)
Wall-clock total : 17.5s
Done.
