Glimmer 30b Dflash local benchmark — RTX 3060 12GB + RTX 3070 8GB — ~42 t/s
I was trying to find Glimmer benchmarks on hardware similar to mine and couldn’t really find much, so I figured I’d post what I’m getting on my current setup for anyone else looking.
Hardware
Ryzen 5 5600X
48 GB DDR4
RTX 3060 12 GB
RTX 3070 8 GB
20 GB total VRAM
Windows
llama.cpp / llama-server
Models
Target: Glimmer 30B IQ4\_XS
Draft: Glimmer 30B DFlash Q4\_0
DFlash draft model on CUDA1
Layer split: 45/55
Context configured for 65,536 tokens
K/V cache: Q8\_0
Flash Attention: on
DFlash max draft: 15
The benchmark prompt itself was 994 tokens, so this is not a benchmark at 65K filled context. The server was configured with a 65,536-token context window.
Results
Prompt: 994 tokens
Output: 128 tokens
Prompt processing: 684.86 t/s average
Generation: 41.97 t/s average
Generation range: 41.71–42.45 t/s
Average total request time: 4.5 sec
Model load time: 9.7 sec
VRAM
GPU 0: 11,229 MiB
GPU 1: 6,627 MiB
Combined observed usage: \~17.4 GiB
I wasn’t really trying to squeeze every last token/sec out of this. It’s just the configuration I ended up using and the performance I’m seeing.
I couldn’t find much for Glimmer on a mixed 3060 12GB + 3070 8GB setup, so hopefully this gives someone else a useful reference point.
