Mid-Range GPUs for AI

The sweet spot for AI. Run 13B-30B models comfortably with good token throughput.

VRAM Range: 12GB – 24GB

Mid-range GPUs are where local AI gets really interesting. You can run most open-source models, including 30B-40B parameter models at Q4 quantization. Key considerations: - 16GB+ VRAM unlocks most open models - Tensor Core performance matters more than clock speed - Consider used RTX 3090s for best value
