Running Brand-New Gemma 4 12B on an 8-Year-Old GTX 1080 Ti: Speed, 3 Gotchas, and Why Q8 Beat Q4 on My Own Field
TL;DR (Quick Answer) Gemma 4 12B just dropped, so I ran it on a GTX 1080 Ti (Pascal, 2017) to see what an 8-year-old card does with a 2026 model. Real numbers, and a few honest surprises: Speed: ~28 tok/s at Q4_K_M on a single 1080 Ti (~8 GB VRAM). The 12B fits one card, so the second GPU sits idle.
