Yes, with partial offload (slower). gpt-oss 20B (MoE, MXFP4) on RTX 3060 12GB at MXFP4 uses system RAM (15.1 GB needed, 11.5 GB usable), about 22 tok/s (estimate).

Hardware: RTX 3060 12GB · Model: gpt-oss 20B (MoE, MXFP4)

RTX 3060 12GB has 12 GB of VRAM and 360 GB/s of memory bandwidth. The checker holds back 0.5 GB of VRAM for the driver and assumes 16 GB of system RAM, so fast memory usable by Ollama is 11.5 GB. Partial offload may also use 60% of that system RAM. gpt-oss 20B (MoE, MXFP4) (20.9B, 3.6B active, OpenAI) at MXFP4 is a 14 GB download and needs 15.1 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
