Yes, with partial offload (slower). Bonsai 2 27B (ternary) on RTX 3060 Ti 8GB at Q2_0 uses system RAM (10.6 GB needed, 7.5 GB usable), about 12 tok/s (estimate).
Hardware: RTX 3060 Ti 8GB · Model: Bonsai 2 27B (ternary)
RTX 3060 Ti 8GB has 8 GB of VRAM and 448 GB/s of memory bandwidth. RTX 3070 8GB has the same memory and bandwidth, so the fit numbers match; this page is RTX 3060 Ti 8GB. 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. Bonsai 2 27B (ternary) (27B, Prism ML) at Q2_0 is a 8.3 GB download and needs 10.6 GB with headroom for about 8k tokens.
