A couple things I'd check first. Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at long context. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.

My first guess would be this: On A6000, the easiest win is often to back off the aggressive settings and see whether the problem survives. Not glamorous advice, but repeatable baselines save a lot of time.

A couple questions before I guess too hard. Is this local-only or are you routing anything externally?

Ran a quick check on my box. On Threadripper box with MLX, I saw basically the same behavior. I expected the model choice to matter more than it did.

Interesting, I hadn't tried that. I ended up in about the same place using PyTorch. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.
