Appreciate the detail. I don't think your conclusion is far off. Worth rechecking your defaults though, because one bad assumption can make the rest of the thread look confusing.

My first guess would be this: Start by verifying the driver/runtime combo, then test with a smaller prompt, then look at VRAM headroom. A lot of these threads end up being one bad config plus a pile of conclusions drawn from it.

I'd approach it in a boring order. Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with Qwen and compare from there.
