SummaryA tip from r/LocalLLaMA suggesting that an old, slow GPU with low VRAM can still be put to use by offloading only the vision mmproj component in llama.cpp, rather than being discarded.
Why it mattersNames a concrete second-life use for spare GPUs inside a multimodal llama.cpp stack, where the vision encoder fits where a full LLM does not.
