If you already have a machine, throwing an r9700 in it is one of the cheapest ways to get qwen3.8 27B Q6 with 100k+ context working.
Sadly, the r9700 has gone up in price, but it's still the cheapest route. I use It on an old x99 Linux desktop and it achieves 50 tps decode and 1000+ tps prefill.
Thanks for the tip! I've already got a home server set up. Maybe this is my next AI purchase. Still, US$2,600 here in Europe is not cheap :-/
