VRAM bottleneck on consumer cards - torchshed - 10-13-2026

Thought I'd post a small recipe because a lot of threads ask similar things.

Just sharing a setup that ended up working reasonably well: Qwen, vLLM, 5090, with a lot of attention on prefix caching.

If someone wants the exact settings I can clean them up and post them.

My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs. I keep promising myself this is the last rebuild.
