I tested Qwen3.8 27B KLD for 21 Models at 9 different KV quants that fit on 16GB VRAM (189 benchmarks).
The author tested Qwen3.8 27B models across 9 different key-value (KV) quantizations that fit on 16GB VRAM, resulting in 21 benchmarks. The conclusion is that q5_1/q5_1 generally performs better than q8_0/q4_0 or q4_0/q8_0. Increasing KV quantization from lower values can improve performance more than increasing model quantization to f16/f16. For optimal results, choose the highest possible quantization at q4_0/q4_0 and then increase KV quantization if there is spare capacity.
