Any 27b Model you can currently recommend for a 16gb AMD ? Mostly coding tasks but not exclusively.

    9060xt 16gb is the most cost effective new GPU, but if you're going used look for a V620 on eBay. It's a 6800xt chip but in server form factor GPU with 32GB vram. Can be a bit of a pain to set up but by far the most cost effective option IMO

    V620s were a good deal when you could get them for $350, now they’re $700+ and no longer a good deal.

    There just aren't any good deals any more. Prices for everything have gone crazy in the last few months. For coding LLMs the cloud services may now be the least worst value, by design, until they hike the prices.

    That said, I still just paid way too much for a used graphics card so I could do many things locally, because I just don't want to give the likes of Sam Altman a single penny.

    For your hardware, the VRam is not enough to run 27b but, I’d recommend Qwen 3.5 9b for image / text to text.

    And I’m planning to experiment with Qwen 3.8 9b for text to text.

    4_k_m quantization is the sweet spot for performance and ram usage.

    Also, I find Llama cpp is better than Ollama in terms of performance.
