Frequently asked questions

What local LLMs can I run on RTX 5060 8GB?
K2 Horizon 0.9B, K2 Horizon MoVA 36B-A4B, Qwen3.8-Flash-Next and others with a 4K input and the recommended format. Required memory varies by model and context length.
What is the local LLM power of RTX 5060 8GB?
Sustained load is about 202 W, with an actual range of 135–275 W.
Are the displayed token speeds ground truth?
This is a range aligned to collected benchmark measurements under the same conditions. Combinations without a matching measurement are estimated from the nearest result and vary with runtime, cooling, quantization file and context length.
