Can a RTX 3060 8GB run Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B?

Yes, with partial offload (slower). Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B on RTX 3060 8GB at Q4_K_M uses system RAM (10.3 GB needed, 7.5 GB usable), about 9 tok/s (estimate).

Hardware: RTX 3060 8GB · Model: Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B

RTX 3060 8GB has 8 GB of VRAM and 240 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 7.5 GB. Partial offload may also use 60% of that system RAM. Qwen 2.5 Coder 14B (14.8B, Alibaba) at Q4_K_M is a 9 GB download and needs 10.3 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
