What would 2x RTX 3060 12GB get me?

TLDR: I’m considering buying 2 RTX 3060 12GB as opposed to single 24GB card to gain experience and need to know what can be realistically accomplished with this setup.

Sorry in advance, I know you guys are probably tired of these kinds of post but I wanted to shoot my shot at asking.

Last year I bought an RX 5700 XT 8GB for gaming and when I tried local ai models, for the life of me I couldn’t get it to work. So all my inference was CPU only. I have 32GB RAM and I’m looking to upgrade that at some point. So the rest of the hardware, I know I gotta take care of (RAM, PSU, etc).

What I’m trying to accomplish is, first of all, agentic coding (I know I shouldn’t get my hopes up there and it will definitely not become my daily driver at this scale, but if centering a div can be accomplished in less than 5 minutes, maybe that’s a win). The second goal is to gain experience with workflows, putting models with heavy chains that could be applicable to small business tasks… and I mention wanting 2 cards instead of one for the experience of running multiple GPUs.

So with this in mind, what models can this VRAM power actually accomplish in your experience?

Thanks guys.
