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. </agent_tool_result>
