I would love to see such comparisons but with quantized versions, because quantization allows running models on smaller hardware with some quality loss. I am running Qwen3.6-35B-A3B quantized to int4 on an A6000 card that was otherwise just sitting around idle. It works up to a degree, but I would love to see benchmarks comparing different quantizations of several models, especially in quality. This is an important dimension in deciding whether to buy a GPU is worth it, and it is missing from this (otherwise comprehensive) article.
