Is it worth using a bunch of old GTX 10 series cards ( like 1060 1070 1080 ) for running local LLM? (alien.top)

Was wondering if theres anyway to use a bunch of old equipment like this to build an at home crunch center for running your own LLM at home, and whether it would be worth it.

I tried it. Something like 1.2 tokens inference on lamma 70b with a mix of cards (but 4 1080s). Would process would crash occasionally. Ideally every card would have the same vram.

Going to try it with 1660 TI's. I think it may be the 'sweet spot' in power to price to performance.
