Nvidia RTX 4090D 48GB VRAM
Intel Xeon W5-3425 with 12 cores

       eval time =   49 s /  1549 tokens (   32.10 ms per token,    31.15 tokens per second)

ctx-size=262144
temp=0.6

top-k=20
min-p=0.00

using nvtop, I see 42GB of VRAM used.

It feels that model is a bit heavy on thinking.

As the article writer, I also have 2 RTX3090 and never had so high quality and fast coding AI like this. (I used to run GGUF Q8 but this AWQ in the article is far better quality)
