How can you get it to run at 41 t/s? I also have a single 3090 and even with MTP can't break 20 t/s.

HEre's my setup:

  llama-server
  --port 9999
  --model /MODELS/LLMs/Qwen3.6-27B-UD-Q4_K_XL.gguf
  --ctx-size 128000
  --threads 12
  --flash-attn on
  --device CUDA0
  --jinja
  --gpu-layers 52
  --mmproj /MODELS/LLMs/Qwen3.6-27B-mmproj-F16.gguf
  --cache-type-k q8_0
  --cache-type-v q8_0
  --temp 0.6 --top-k 20 --top-p 0.95 --min-p 0.0 --repeat-penalty 1.0 --presence-penalty 0.0
  --spec-type draft-mtp --spec-draft-n-max 2

(I'm not filling out 100% of the VRAM, as I have other stuff I need it for.)

Ya, if you are using the CPU it may slowdown quick.

This may be a bit huge and overcomplicated, on this host I am running it on a AMD Ryzen 7 5700G so that I can use the APU to dedicate the 3090.

    podman run --device nvidia.com/gpu=all -d -v llama_qwen3.6mpt:/root/.cache -p 8080:8080 local/llama.cpp:full-cuda --server \
    -hf unsloth/Qwen3.6-27B-MTP-GGUF:UD-Q4_K_XL \

    --prio 3 \
    --poll 100 \
    --port 8080 \
    --host 0.0.0.0

I am just building the container with:

     podman build -t local/llama.cpp:full-cuda --target full -f .devops/cuda.Dockerfile .

And here is the logs from a 'make me a flappy bird program in python' webui prompt.

     prompt eval time =     105.86 ms /    19 tokens (    5.57 ms per token,   179.47 tokens per second)
       eval time =  100549.41 ms /  4608 tokens (   21.82 ms per token,    45.83 tokens per second)
      total time =  100655.28 ms /  4627 tokens
     draft acceptance rate = 0.47215 ( 3408 accepted /  7218 generated)

I am down to ~25.54 t/s with a 95% full context.

That config looked too complicated, getting rid of the --prio 3 and --poll 100, setting the draft-n-max to now recommended values, etc... kicked it up to 61 t/s

I think that was all about some earlier crashes.
