Hey guys,
What’s currently the best LLM for low-VRAM machines with only 6 GB VRAM? I’ve got 32GB RAM as well.
I’m experimenting a little with SillyTavern and I’m curious which model gets the most out of my setup. Should be multilingual and suitable for “casual chatting”.
I know I will probably not get very far with this, but I’m still interested in how far we’ve already come.
(Using KoboldCPP if that matters).

I have a Qwen3.6-35b-a3b model running on a dated desktop machine with 4GB VRAM.
I use 8-bit-quant, but also have 48GB normal RAM.
Delivers ~7tk/s, which is already totally usable for most things.
Tried it on my recent Core-i7 company laptop with 8GB VRAM and got 20tk/s.
Oh, and I am also using KoboldCPP (on a Linux foundation).
I’ll try my luck and download Qwen3.6-35B-A3B-GGUF. Thanks!
