Weird to get near linear scaling by adding another GPU?

Single steam benchmarks (club-3090) model: qwen3.6-27b-autoround-int4 **BEFORE:** 1x3090 \*Their default script recipe for single 3090'\*s *(4-bit quant and 4-bit kv cache, mtp=2)* NARRATIVE decode\_TPS: mean = **53** std = **0.6** CODE decode\_TPS: mean = **62** std= **1.4** **AFTER:** 2x3090 *Their default script recipe for dual 3090's (4-bit quant and 8-bit kv cache, mpt=3)* NARRATIVE decode\_TPS: mean= **94** std= **1.3** CODE decode\_TPS: mean= **120** std= **2.1** This is running *without NVLink,* on a 8x/8x motherboard, for some reason P2P was automatically enabled (no driver hack needed), Tensor parallelism = 2 I am truly shocked that I got almost linear scaling in performance. I still get odd parsing errors in my quality tests when editing large code files in Agent mode (VSCode), (but not the same ones as before), for some reason forcing the model to use CLI editing tools is much more reliable than whatever VSCode is doing with the Agent. I am going to likely move to their 8-bit weight model recipe as well.
