5060 worth it?

Summary

I had built a pc in 2023 for pretty cheap, it has a RTX 4090 and intel i9 13900K. I’m thinking of adding a 5060Ti for additional LLM workloads. I primarily use my GPU for training SLMs and llama.cpp inference. Since the memory bandwidth of 5060 is way lower than 4090 and the fact that it’s only 16gigs extra is it worth the current price and effort to get one? submitted by /u/Dry_Long3157 [link] [comments]

• I benchmarked 13 models at 65K-128K context to find out what actually matters for agentic workloads
