StudioBenchmarking all the popular Qwen 3.8 FN inference engines on a single RTX 5090
Original title: I ran all the popular Qwen 3.8 FN engines on a single 5090 + 128GB of RAM, here are the numbers
The author benchmarked seven Qwen 3.8 FN inference engines (Basalt, Infernix, capy-flash, Strata, ninfer-ext, ninfer, llama.cpp) on a single RTX 5090 at 400 W with 128 GB RAM, using the same NVFP4 checkpoint per engine, greedy sampling, int8 KV cache, and a cold start per request, across short-context decode and 25K–200K token depth tests. Basalt and Infernix lead the pack: Basalt decodes about 10% faster than Infernix on prose and conversation, ties on struct (354 vs 349 tok/s), and matches on 25K prefill before pulling ahead from 50K up. llama.cpp ran with MTP off as a reference point only. The author discloses they develop Basalt and treats gaps under 5% as ties.
The author ran seven Qwen 3.8 FN inference engines on the same 5090 and checkpoint with documented conditions, giving readers directly comparable numbers for deployment choices.
