4090 vs 5090 for 70B quants: anyone testing this?

Posting this in case it saves someone else a little time.

I'm not trying to build a perfect architecture diagram. I just want a sane starting point around Ollama and M3 Max.

Simple and boring is a valid answer.

My use case is pretty ordinary: local chat, some document work, and occasional batch jobs. The logs were somehow calmer than I was.

What worked for me was pretty simple. Before rebuilding anything, I'd test one clean baseline with Llama and compare from there.

Did a small comparison this afternoon. My result was mixed: first run looked bad, second run looked normal. The main thing that moved was latency, not quality.
