PAIRED HARDWARE MANIFEST // 配套实测环境与边界记录
Verified Environment for "Running 30B & 80B MoE Models on a 12GB–24GB Consumer GPU + Dual-Channel DDR5 PC: Native llama.cpp --n-cpu-moe Benchmark & RTX 5070 SUPER (18GB) / 5080 SUPER (24GB) Sizing"
Tested Hardware & OS
Measured on: AMD Ryzen 9 9900X + 64GB Dual-Channel DDR5-6400 CL30 (~84 GB/s read) + NVIDIA RTX 4070 (12GB) / RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) / RTX 5070 Ti (16GB) / RTX 4090 (24GB) | Spec-estimate rows: NVIDIA RTX 5070 SUPER (18GB GDDR7 192-bit · ~672 GB/s) & RTX 5080 SUPER (24GB GDDR7 256-bit 32 Gbps · ~1,024 GB/s)
Pinned Stack & Model Versions
llama.cpp b4920+ (upstream native `--n-cpu-moe` / `-ncmoe` & `--cpu-moe` / `-cmoe` support)CUDA 12.8 (`GGML_CUDA=1` + Flash Attention `-fa`)Models: Qwen3-30B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf (18.6 GB, 48 layers) & Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B-Q4_K_M.gguf (48.2 GB, 48 layers)
Offline Boundary (100% Local Desktop GPU + DDR5 Execution)
All GGUF weights and `--n-cpu-moe` tensor splits run locally across PCIe and system RAM with zero external API calls.
Known Operational Limits & Failure Modes
- The RTX 4070 (12GB), RTX 5060 Ti (16GB), RTX 5070 Ti (16GB), and RTX 4090 (24GB) rows in Table 1 are lab-measured on our Ryzen 9 9900X + DDR5-6400 testbench; the **RTX 5070 SUPER (18GB)** and **RTX 5080 SUPER (24GB)** rows are **SPEC-DERIVED ESTIMATES** based on leaked 3GB (24Gb) GDDR7 module specs and are explicitly labeled `[Spec-Est.]`.
- `--n-cpu-moe N` only helps **sparse Mixture-of-Experts (MoE)** models (`Qwen3-30B-A3B`, `Qwen3-Next-80B-A3B`, `DeepSeek-V3/R1`). On dense models (`Qwen3-32B`, `Llama-3.3-70B`), every parameter is active on every token, so offloading to dual-channel DDR5 (~84 GB/s) still drops decode speed into single digits.
DEPLOYMENT CHECKLIST // 配置落地核验步骤
3-Step Verification Checklist After Deploying launch-llama-cpp-n-cpu-moe.sh
- Verified `llama-server --help | grep n-cpu-moe` confirms native `--n-cpu-moe` (`-ncmoe`) support (`llama.cpp` b4800+ / 2026 build).
- Confirmed system DDR5 RAM is running in Dual-Channel mode with XMP/EXPO enabled (e.g., DDR5-6000/6400, not stock JEDEC 4800).
- Set `-t` to physical CPU core count (e.g., `-t 8` or `-t 12`, excluding hyperthreads) so DDR5 bandwidth is not wasted on thread contention.
