4x RTX 3090 LLM benchmark archive
638 local inference measurements from one 96 GB home rig. The exact launch
command is attached to 637 of them.
Most benchmark posts give you a model name and one tok/s number. I kept
losing the rest: which checkpoint, which quant, which KV dtype, which TP layout,
which engine build, and whether the number meant single-stream decode or
aggregate throughput.
This repository is the database I wanted. You can inspect one result in the
Markdown catalog, query all of them in SQLite, or take the
JSONL and run your own analysis.

| Dataset files | JSONL, SQLite, snapshot metadata, and schema notes |
The archive currently has 638 measurements from 20 benchmark campaigns across
14 model families. Most runs use vLLM. The llama.cpp set is smaller, and the 38
exllamav3 rows came from a short experiment rather than broad engine coverage.
This is a benchmark archive, not a leaderboard. The harness and the variable I
was testing changed between campaigns, so some rows should not be compared
directly. Each row keeps its workload, topology, power limit, engine version,
source references, and launch command when available. 637 of 638 measurements
retain an exact argv or command.
What makes one row useful
Every result keeps the context needed to understand or reproduce it:
| Recorded with the number | Examples |
|---|
| Model artifact | checkpoint, quantization recipe, source revision |
| Runtime | engine, version, attention backend, KV-cache dtype |
| GPU layout | TP, PP, DP, instance count, power limit, P2P state |
| Workload | prompt length, output length, concurrency, context limit |
| Metric meaning | single-stream wall rate, decode rate, aggregate output, TTFT |
