7b mistral is quite outdated. On a 12gb 4070 you can run qwen 3.5 9b q4km or qwen 3.6 35b, the latter will be a lot smarter but also a lot slower due to ram offload.

Try both in lm studio, they really are surprisingly capable

I have 80gb of ram but it's slow capped by i9 CPU or specific asus mobo sucks I think only 2400mhz despite being ddr4

Tried all the stuff bios, volting
