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.

You might as well use the cards if you have them already. I'm currently getting around 5-6 tokens per second when running nous-capybara 34b q4_k_m on a 2080ti 22gb and a p102 10gb (basically a semi lobotomized 1080ti). The p102 does bottleneck the 2080ti, but hey, at least it runs at a near usable speed! If I try running on CPU (I have a r9 3900) I get something closer to 1 token per second.

How did you get your 2080 ti to 22gb of VRAM?

Modded cards are quite easy to obtain in china
