I've understood that, but also that MoE (mixture of experts) don't need 
the entire model in VRAM all the time, they can page in different 
sections one after the other, but then the bottleneck isn't amount of 
memory, but memory bandwidth (i.e number of PCIe lanes and PCI generation).

I almost got sucked into buying a used nVidia data centre card (P40 
w/24GB) the other week, they're kind-of trailing edge for what's still 
semi-useful, about £250 plus a new PSU and 3D print your own fan shroud 
and put up with the noise and electricity use while it's in use.

Yep, it all zooms out of reach over the horizon really quickly ...
