Can a RTX 3060 12GB run Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B (MoE)?

Yes, with partial offload (slower). Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B (MoE) on RTX 3060 12GB at Q4_K_M uses system RAM (20.4 GB needed, 11.5 GB usable), about 18 tok/s (estimate).

Hardware: RTX 3060 12GB · Model: Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B (MoE)

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. Qwen3-Coder 30B-A3B (MoE) (30.5B, 3.3B active, Alibaba) at Q4_K_M is a 19 GB download and needs 20.4 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
