How much more stupid is the 120B goliath Q3_K_M than the larger options? (alien.top)

I want to download the goliath model but I can only afford Q3_K_M. It is written that it has high quality losses. How much quality loss is there?

I heard that the larger the model, the less it suffers intellectually when it is optimized. I usually use 70B Q5_K_M. Can I expect that 120B Q3_K_M will be significantly better than 70B Q5_K_M so that the time spent on downloading will be worth it?

I imagine it's pretty solid.

I've tested around the with q4_K_M and the q8 on my Mac Studio, and the q4 is pretty darn good. There's some difference in that the q4 does seem to get confused when I talk to it sometimes, whereas the q8 seems unshakeable in its quality, but honestly the q4 still feels better than almost any other model I've ever used.

What software are you using to run Goliath on? Using a Mac Studio I get errors in LM Studio and text-generation-webui and can't load any of the blokes gguf's for it. I can only load the 2bit from the creator. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks!
