What to pair with 3080TI for Qwen 3.5 27b? | 0 | Based on everything I’ve read about the new dense 27B Qwen model, it looks like something I’d be interested running full-time on my local machine as a basic assistant.
I have an i7 12700, 32 GB DDR5, and 1x 12GB 3080TI.
Suggestions welcome for anything under $1000.
