User reports Qwen3.8-27B at 30.10 tok/s median decode on an RTX 5060 8GB, over five runs at an occupied 8192-token prompt. Setup is llama.cpp with UD-IQ2_XXS weights and q4_0 KV cache, 65/65 layers on CUDA, peak VRAM 7767 MiB. A short-context FULL_GPU decode of 31.39 tok/s and a ctx512 control of 18.11 tok/s are also given; quality gate and uncensored checkpoint are not done.

User reports DeepSeek-V4.1-Flash (552B backbone + 196B Engram, 384 experts top-6, FP8 + FP4) running on a single RTX 5060 8GB at ~1.6 tokens/s from disk only and ~2.4 tokens/s with a 16 GB RAM cache. Setup streams experts and Engram rows from NVMe using DeepSeek's reference code with a modified storage layer; only the dense part lives on the GPU (cap --vram_gb 7.3), with 240 experts (4.2 GiB) read per token. Batch size 1, text only, context limit 8192, prefill max 700 tokens. Live chat via the OpenAI-compatible server with a 16 GB RAM cache reaches 2.43 tokens/s; peak VRAM 7.06 GiB. A 311-token prompt takes 17.9 s. The user notes the speed-ups changed nothing in output (136/136 tokens identical) and that DeepSeek's untouched reference could not be run side by side because it cannot load the model in 8 GB.

User asks whether speculative decoding (MTP) is still worth enabling for a 35B A3B MoE model offloaded across an 8GB RTX 5060 and 32GB of system RAM. Current llama-server setup uses a Q4_K_XL GGUF with a Q8 KV cache, flash attention on, 4096 batch and ubatch, 16 CPU cores, 40 MoE layers on CPU and 99 GPU layers, yielding about 40 t/s generation and 500 t/s prompt processing without MTP. User recalls earlier reports that MTP hurt prompt processing and wants to know if that is still the case and how others configure llama-server.
